Ghare Baire (The Home and the World) is a 1984 film by Bengali director Satyajit Ray, based upon the novel Ghare Baire (The Home and the World) by Rabindranath Tagore. It features Soumitra Chatterjee, Victor Banerjee , Jennifer Kendal and Swatilekha Chatterjee, married Sengupta.
The story is set in early 20th century India in the estate of the rich Bengali noble Nikhil (Victor Banerjee). He lives happily with his beautiful wife Bimala (Swatilekha Sengupta) until the appearance of his friend and radical revolutionist, Sandip (Soumitra Chatterjee).
Sandip, a passionate and active man, is a contradiction to the peace - loving and somewhat passive Nikhil. He easily attracts the innocent and unsuspecting Bimala, creating a love triangle.
Although Nikhilesh figures out what is happening, he is a mature person and thus grants Bimala freedom to grow and choose what she wants in her life (as their marriage was arranged when she was a young girl). Meanwhile Bimala experiences the emotions of love for the first time in a manner which helps her understand that it is indeed her husband Nikhilesh who really loves her.Nikhilesh also told to Bimala that he wants Bimala not only inside the home as well as the outside of the home too. Which was the most controversial matter when the novel was written .
