A rarely screened gem in Satyajit Ray’s abundant catalogue and a film beloved to generations of Indian audiences, The Golden Fortress is set in scenic Rajasthan. Ray introduces viewers to charming private investigator Feluda (Soumitra Chatterjee) and his teenaged cousin sidekick Tapesh (Siddartha Chatterjee). Ray originally presented these characters to young audiences when he was the editor of the children’s magazine Sandesh, which his grandfather founded in the 1910s. In The Golden Fortress, the duo faces off against kidnappers, scorpions, magicians, and knife throwers.
