The owner reserves the right

This movie scene from Satyajit Ray’s Jalsaghar is one of my favorite movie scenes.

It contains some of the finest music and Kathak performances depicted on the big screen.

But what makes the scene subliminal for me is the ending-brings out the difference between the class of old (but vanishing) wealth and the vulgarity of new money.
