One of the lesser works in Ray's oeuvre, a simple satire. Religious charlatans might have been bold subject matter in 1965 India, I'm not sure. I got really confused at the climax and didn't understand how their plan worked. The movie is amusing but not terribly so. The final scene evoked a chuckle, but overall The Chess Players is funnier.
