'Guru Dakshina' is a 1987 Bengali film directed by Anjan Choudhury and produced by Bhabesh Kundu. The film stars Ranjit Mallick, Tapas Paul, Satabdi Roy, Kali Banerjee, and Shakuntala Barua in the lead roles. The film is about a poor village boy named Jayanta Bose who becomes a popular singer through his singing.

Plot



Jayanta Bose, a poor naive village boy, gets a low paying job at the rich but corrupt businessman, Mr. Roy's company to support him and his mother. He sings at Mr. Roy's function displaying his singing skills, one day which makes him an overnight star. He's also in love with his beautiful daughter Rupa who's very supportive of his singing along with her elder brother, his other boss and brotherly figure, Rajat. However, the apparently jealous Mr. Roy makes him lose his fame after blackmailing his desperate music teacher when he begs for money for his grandson's treatment, to make him stop singing, which also ruins his image to the point that he even gets blamed for his sudden death when his widowed daughter-in-law confronts him for refusing to sing for her mom and sisters. Jayanta is very heartbroken by all of this and deeply misses singing but refuses to mention the reason he stopped singing after he promised his regretful music teacher. Mr. Roy later regretfully confesses on Rupa's birthday about the blackmail which lets Jayanta finally sing again which thrills everyone including his music teacher's daughter-in-law and grandson. Mr. Roy then gives his hand in marriage to Rupa as expected.
