Hirak Rajar Deshe is an Indian Bengali dystopian fantasy musical film, sequel to the 1969 anti-war fantasy musical Goopy Gyne Bagha directed by Satyajit Ray. The magically musical duo of Goopy Gyne and Bagha Byne make a comeback in this sequel, where they are invited to the court of the Hirak Raja for their musical skills. They are to perform at the kingdom's Anniversary Celebrations.
Goopy and Bagha are bored with their lives as crown princes of Shundi and Halla. They are looking for a change, an adventure while they are still young, which comes in the form of a chance to visit Hirak (Land of Diamonds), known for its huge diamond mines. They happily set out for Hirak in the dress of commoners, unaware of the machinations of the King of Hirak (Utpal Dutt), who is a tyrant. Diamonds and riches get pent up in his treasuries, while his subjects starve and suffer. Those who protest are taken care of in the 'Jantarmantar, a chamber for brainwashing devised by the scientist (Santosh Dutta), who the king mocks calling as "Gobeshok Gobochondro Gyanotirtho Gyanorotno Gyanambudhi Gyanochuramoni. His ministers are mere puppets. The only enemy, the king, has in his land is Udayan Pandit (Soumitra Chatterjee). He is a school teacher and, more than that, he is a believer of values. The king sees him as a threat to his kingdom's new generation and forcefully closes his school down and tries to burn down books, and he flees to hide in the mountains after attacking soldiers who were trying to burn books.
