Gaaner Oparey

Gaaner Oparey, was the musical journey between two artists, bohemian Gora and traditional Pupe and their love and in the whole process reinventing Tagore's "music". The story revolved around a girl called Pupe from an orthodox Tagore-worshiping family and Gora, an extremely talented but care-free lad, who keeps on experimenting with Rabindra sangeet. This TV show marks the beginning of a-year-long celebration of 150th birth anniversary of Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore.[10]

GAANER OPAREY was for people who understand Rabindranath, his songs, his poems, his understanding of love and life. The show soon became favourite show of the educated and sophisticated Bengalis across the globe. It was path breaking and brought a new set of viewers back to TV and achieved "cult" status. The serial created a great awareness among the young generations about Tagore, his philosophy and music. Most importantly it revolutionized Rabindra sangeet, and made it popular among-st youth who earlier shunned away from Tagore songs thinking it to be out of fashion.

It was initially scripted by Rituparno Ghosh and later by Anuja Chattopadhyay and was directed by Joydeep Mukherjee. The music director was Debojyoti Mishra[11]

Mimi portrayed the role of Pupe,a very talented singer, belonging to an orthodox Tagore worshiping family, who used to sing Rabindrasangeet in traditional form in concurrence with her family values. Mimi was brilliant in all the emotions and made Pupe iconic.[12]
