The magic phrase "Open Sesame" is a big hint about a play written by Bengali playwright, Kshirod Prasad Vidyavinod, and adapted by theatre group Anandam. In 1897, Vidyavinod turned the well-known tale from One Thousand and One Arabian nights into a Bengali musical titled Alibaba. A little info on Vidyavinod — he was a chemistry teacher by profession, whose interest in theatre led him to write plays that were box-office hits, before the rise of modern Bengali theatre.
