Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Music Room (Jalsaghar) is a 1958 film from India directed by Satyajit Ray.The film takes place during the later years of The Raj, circa the late 1920s to early '30s. Biswambhar Roy (Chhabi Biswas) is a zamindar—a landholder, a member of the nobility roughly equivalent to an English earl. The Roy family lives in an enormous mansion, but their fortunes are in severe decline, something which Roy is either unable or unwilling to do anything about. He likes nothing better than to stage grand entertainments in his lavish music room, inviting musicians to play for his friends and neighbors, but by the time frame of the story he has to pawn his wife Mahamaya's (Padma Devi) jewelry to do so. Roy's state of genteel poverty is made even more irritating by the presence of a neighbor, one Mahim Ganguly (Gangapada Bose), a commoner who has built himself up into wealth even as Roy the patrician sinks into poverty.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Roy keeps spending to keep up appearances, staging concerts even as his financial situation continues to deteriorate. A terrible tragedy occurs which causes Roy to retreat from the world and shut himself up inside his increasingly shabby mansion, but the continuing impudence of Mahim the parvenu leads Roy to one last display of wealth.

Bookends: The same shot of the swaying chandelier in the music room opens and closes the film.

As You Know...: Mahim says "the inauguration is Monday, Bengali New Year's Day." As if Roy doesn't know when New Year's is.

Blue Blood: Roy, a product of the hereditary Bengal aristocracy. Near the end of the movie he cites "Blood! The blood in my veins!" as the reason why he is still perceived as an aristocrat while Mahim is still a Nouveau Riche grasper.

Blood from the Mouth: How we know that Roy's fall from a horse at the end of the film is fatal.
