Synopsis
“The Storyteller” is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language drama film directed by Ananth Mahadevan, inspired by Satyajit Ray’s short story “Golpo Boliye Tarini Khuro.” The film stars Paresh Rawal as Tarini Bandyopadhyay, an eccentric storyteller, and Adil Hussain as Ratan Garodia, a wealthy businessman. The narrative explores themes of creativity, originality, and the fine line between inspiration and plagiarism.
The plot centers on Tarini, who, after a career spanning 75 jobs, responds to an unusual advertisement from Ratan Garodia seeking a personal storyteller to help cure his insomnia. As Tarini narrates his tales, the story delves into the dynamics between art and ambition, leading to unexpected twists that challenge perceptions of authenticity and ownership.
