Film TitleJoi Baba Felunath (The Elephant God), 1979, India, Bengali
Scene DescriptionMaganlal Meghraj (played by Utpal Dutt), the decadent villain of three Felu Mitter stories but one film only, is a Marwari businessman with a quirky Bengali accent who preys on the dying bourgeois bhadra class. He is decorated with a touch of corrupt criminal history, for smuggling precious inherited artefacts that staunch patriarchs hold so close to heart in order to maintain a facade of aristocracy. He arrives at the Ghoshal house and incidentally meets Bikash Singh, the obligatory caretaker sheltered by the family from an young age. (2/29)
