Goopi Gawaiya Bagha Bajaiya has a simple & nice story. But is it engaging enough? Well, the answer is no.
It’s about two musicians who are not very talented. Gopi (Voiced by Rajeev Raj) is a singer while Bagha (Maneesh Bhawan) is a percussionist. Both of them are thrown out of their respective villages as the villagers simply can’t stand their music. They both bump into each other in a village and start jamming. Unlike humans who hate their music, the ghosts love it and the Ghost King (Voiced by Shailendra Pande) grants them four wishes. They take three and save one for the future. How the wished proves to be life altering for them is what the film is about.
The film scores in the animation and the voiceover departments. Rajeev Raj & Maneesh Bhawan do a fine job. It has a few nice songs as well. But the problem with the film is that it’s not engaging enough. The narrative is inconsistent and lacks any sort of depth. The humour is also not up to mark.
