Sahib Bibi aur Ghulam (1962)

In the late 19th century, the opulent yet decaying world of Bengali Zamindars and the rising bourgeoisie is observed through the eyes of Bhoot Nath, an ambitious young man from a rustic background who seeks his fortune in Calcutta. Drawn into this realm of wealth and decadence, he finds employment as a servant to a Zamindar, a wealthy landlord reveling in the nightly pleasures of alcohol and dancing girls, leaving his stunningly beautiful wife neglected. As the Zamindar continues to drown in the hedonistic delights of brothels and the company of dancing ladies, Bhoot Nath discovers the profound loneliness that haunts his mistress, a woman of captivating beauty, doomed to a life of isolation. Their worlds converge, and an unlikely bond blossoms between Bhoot Nath and the deserted lady of the manor, forming a platonic relationship that sheds light on the life she is condemned to lead. This compelling narrative unfolds as Bhoot Nath navigates through the intricate labyrinth of this aristocratic society, becoming the confidante of the neglected wife and gaining unique insight into her world. "Sahib Bibi aur Ghulam" paints a vivid picture of a society in flux, revealing the dichotomy between its outward extravagance and inward decay, all the while trailing the lives of its three central characters - the Sahib, the Bibi, and the Ghulam.
