Beder Meye Josna (Bengali: বেদের মেয়ে জোসনা, also known as Beder Meye Jyotsna) is a 1989 cinema of Bangladesh (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0197278/) directed by Motiur Rahman Panu. It is a remake of a famous Bangladeshi movie of the same name. The film stars Chiranjit and Anju Ghosh. This movie is the first Indo-Bangladesh co-production of a Bengali film.[1] The original movie is also reputed to be the highest grossing Bangladeshi film of all time.

Plot

In the Bengali language, "Bede" means a caste or group of people who make their living by catching snakes and entertaining people by making the snakes dance to the tune of there flutes. Joytsna (Anju Ghose) is a girl from this community. One day a poisonous snake bites the foot of a local prince (Chiranjit). A bede is called to cure the prince. He sees the wound and declares that only Jyotsna can extract the poison from the prince's blood. The king calls Jyotsna and asks her to save his son, in exchange for which he agrees to give her anything she wants. Jyotsna cures the prince but becomes ill in the process. After her mother and the queen pray for her, she recovers and demands the hand of the prince as her reward, but the king balks. When the prince, now recovered, comes to know of everything that has transpired, he falls in love with Jyotsna. After a long tug-of-war, the couple persuade the king to consent to their union and they marry.

This story was taken from a very old rural Bengali play of the same name. The tune of the title song, "Beder meye Jyotsna amay katha diyeche," was adopted from the song "Ek pardesi mera dil le gaya" from the film Phagun (1958).
