A sequel to Sonar Kella (1974), it adapts Ray's own novel and unfolds within the ancient, labyrinthine lanes of Varanasi, one of India's holiest and most atmospheric cities.

जय बाबा फ़ेलूनाथ (1979) बांग्ला भाषा में निर्मित रहस्य से भरी फ़िल्म है जिसका निर्देशन महान फ़िल्मकार सत्यजित राय ने किया था। यह राय के लिखे अप्रतिम जासूस किरदार प्रदोष मित्तिर 'फ़ेलूदा' के कारनामों पर बनी इस जासूसी शृंखला की एक महत्वपूर्ण कड़ी है। इससे पहले आई सोनार केल्ला (1974) के सीक्वल के रूप में बनी यह फ़िल्म खुद राय की लिखी फ़ेलूदा शृंखला की कहानी पर आधारित है और भारत के सबसे प्राचीन, आध्यात्मिक तथा रहस्यमय नगरों में से एक वाराणसी की गलियाँ और उसके घाट इस कथा का घटनास्थल हैं। कहानी आगे बढ़ती है तीक्ष्ण बुद्धि रखनेवाले उम्दा जासूस प्रदोष चंद्र मित्तिर उर्फ़ 'फ़ेलूदा' के किरदार के साथ। फ़ेलूदा इन दिनों अपने चचेरे भाई और शागिर्द तोपशे तथा घुमक्कड़ी के अपने साथी मित्र, अपराध-कथा लेखक लालमोहन गांगुली उर्फ़ 'जटयु' के साथ वाराणसी नगरी में छुट्टियाँ बिता रहे हैं। उनका शांति से व्यतीत हो रहा अवकाश तब बाधित होता है जब घोषाल परिवार उनसे अनुरोध करता है कि वे उनकी अमूल्य सोने की गणेश प्रतिमा की चोरी की जाँच करें। संदेह की सुई फ़ौरन ही मगनलाल मेघराज की ओर घूम जाती है। वो एक तेज़ अपराधी तबीयत का मारवाड़ी व्यापारी है जिसका अतीत तस्करी से जुड़ा रहा है। अब उसने धार्मिक दानकर्म कर शराफ़त का मुखौटा पहना है। वह एक...
