00:00Dhayal Baba, I haven't had breakfast since morning.

00:06Where is the flour?

00:09Hey, I don't have money. I will give it to you.

00:13Babu Moshai, I am not a tiger. I am Chinat Bahurupi.

00:18I have heard the story of Chinat Bahurupi from Srikanth Upanishad in Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay.

00:23He is such a Bengali, he just has to say yes.

00:26And the people of Chinat Bahurupi still roam around from Bangla village to Brahmantar.

00:36A song has become very popular with the people of Chinat Bahurupi.

00:40In the song of Shivak Prasad Mukhopadhyay, Anandita Rai.

00:44This year's Puja was celebrated by Windows Production's Bahurupi Cinema.

00:50And then the popularity of this boy came out.

00:54But this is not the first time. This boy has been going on since ancient times.

00:59The number of Bahurupis is also very low in the village.

01:04What do the Bahurupis do? How do they spend their lives?

01:09Let's know the small stories of the lives of Bahurupi artists.

01:13Bahurupi is a work outside the screen, which is also called an act.

01:21If you don't get out of bed in the morning, they have to stay awake all day.

01:31The main residence of this Bahurupi artist is in Birbhum's Labpur.

01:36But due to the shortage, a group of Bahurupis from Bhalukkoti, Bishoipur, the area of Birbhum's Labpur, are now staying in Bakura city.

01:48Sometimes Kali, sometimes Shiva, or sometimes Hanuman, who entertains people and is a little bit of a job, somehow they run the family.

02:00Bahurupi Chandan Choudhury, who cannot keep his sorrowful story in front of the audience,

02:08is very excited to talk about it.

02:14We have done a lot of things. We have kept the art of Bahurupi for a very long time.

02:20We used to sing Manasa songs, we used to sing Bhaju songs, we kept the art of Bahurupi for a very long time.

02:28Now we have come to love people very much.

02:32If you go to the village, you will get a lot of money.

02:38It is slowly getting destroyed.

02:39Those who are going to the village, some are thieves, some are robbers, some are boys.

02:43Many people have reduced the art of Bahurupi.

02:46We have kept the art of Bahurupi for a very long time.

02:48Now we have a total of 100 Bahurupis.

02:52We have 100 people in our house.

02:54We used to do Bahurupi for 45-50 people. Now all of them are coming.

02:58Bahurupi artist Patul Choudhury says,

03:01there is no current generation in this profession.

03:04Therefore, this ancient art is on the way to extinction.

03:08We do Bahurupi art with Shiva, we do it with Lord Shiva, we do it with Durga, we do it with Vishnu.

03:16When we used to do it, the boys used to say that it is very bad.

03:20It has reduced a lot.

03:23Why is it reduced?

03:26The boys are not doing it anymore.

03:33The people of the city, Sitaram Agarwal, say that Bahurupi is not seen in the same way as it is now.

03:38And the reason behind this is that they do not have a livelihood.

03:43The art of Bahurupi is slowly becoming extinct.

03:46We are seeing that in the form of God, Shiva, Hanuman, everything comes out.

03:54In that, people's minds are a little disturbed.

03:58The children are happy.

03:59The children are happy, everyone is happy.

04:02Has it reduced now?

04:03Yes, it has reduced a lot.

04:04Earlier, we used to have a lot of problems here.

04:06We have seen all kinds of things from Rajasthan.

04:09And your TT, thieves, police, all of them have to take permission.

04:16Now, everything is coming out in the form of Thakur.

04:18The children are happy with that.

04:20What do you think, why is it reduced?

04:22Actually, it is not about income, it is not about economic income.

04:26Now, the shopkeeper said,

04:28We have seen it for 5 days.

04:29It was halved on the last day.

04:31If someone gives 5-10 rupees like this, it is not good.

04:35There is a situation, food, medicine, rent.

04:37Even if the government gives food to the Bahurupi artists, it is very small.

04:42The money that the government gives to the artists, the family does not run with it.

04:47That is why the Bahurupi artists are forced to do other things.

04:51Bahurupi on the path of extinction due to the uncertainty of the future.

04:56How long will this art be preserved like this?

04:59The question is being asked about it.
