About the Cartoon –

The cartoon drew on dialogues from a Satyajit Ray classic to mock Mamata Banerjee's policies.

The cartoon showed the chief minister and the railway minister exchanging dialogues from a popular Bengali film by Satyajit Ray, which alluded to the replacement of Dinesh Trivedi by Mukul Roy as railway minister.





CARTOON SAYS

In Satyajit Ray’s movie “Sonar kella”, Mukul is a kid that seem to have memories of a “golden fort” from his past life.

His doctor (psychiatrist) takes him to a trip to Rajasthan to see if the fort exists.

An evil doctor, wanting to make fortune off the supposed golden fort’s treasures, tries to kill Mukul’s doctor and take his place.

This are excerpts from dialogue between the
Evil doctor (Mamta) and Mukul (Mukul) from the movie.

The original good doctor represents Trivedi.

Evil doctor (after hypnotizing Mukul).

Can you see the golden fort, Mukul?

Mukul (about his original doctor, after the evil doctor portrays the good doctor as the bad one): That’s a bad person!

Evil doctor (after pushing the good doctor off a cliff): Bad person vanish!

OR another version of Cartoon both are same with little difference

It is the story of Mukul, a kid who recalls his past life including a golden fortress (sonar kella). Two goons kidnap Mukul as they hope to unearth the treasure from the house.

In their bid, they attempt to murder a psychiatrist Dr Hajra, who is accompanying Mukul to Rajasthan to find out truths about his past life.

The cartoon is based on a particular scene in the film where one of the goons (played by Kamu Mukherjee) pushes Dr Hajra from a cliff while the other goon starts impersonating Dr Hajra thereafter.

When Mukul asks about the original Dr Hajra, the goons tell him that he was a dushtu lok (a bad person), hence was made to vanish. The cartoon that drew Mamata's ire depicts her pointing at the railways and asking Mukul Roy if he can see the sonar kella?

The next bit of the spoof has Mukul pointing at Dinesh Trivedi and stating, Ota dushtu lok! (That is the bad guy)

The last part has Mamata gleefully saying, dushtu lok? Vanish!
