Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa, based on Ray’s short story
Barin Bhowmick’s Ailment, has escaped the mostly withering response accorded to the other three episodes.
Chaubey’s film, written by Niren Bhatt, revolves around a ghazal singer in the habit of swiping objects from other people. Musafir Ali isn’t a thief but a kleptomaniac, a condition he has been cured of but is forced to confront when he meets one of his old marks during a train journey.
Although former wrestler Aslam Baig can’t place Musafir, he remembers the disappearance of his watch all too well. Musafir spends the train ride in agony until he decides to return the timepiece.

When not making globe-conquering humanist dramas, India’s greatest writer-director was churning out his delicious 10-pagers.

Ray himself would have approved of the format – his 1961 triptych, Teen Kanya, was the first of its kind in India.
