"true gonzo documentary if you see closely"

The only documentary he made, and it had to be about Tagore's life whose inspiration is very much nudely visible in Ghosh's most works. It is a true gonzo documentary if you see closely. It has proper documentary elements, and some dramatised versions of different phases of Tagore's life, enacted by the actors. Even, we can see the director's pursuit and shooting, and the some problems he faced during shooting. Sounds funny enough, and almost everybody I know hated this film - but I recommend this for 2 reasons. One, this kind of documentary I have not seen in Indian film industry yet. And of course, the last good films before Ghosh's premature demise; RIP/AMEN

Bengali cinema is admired for its poetic realism, humanist focus, and deep literary ties. Often influenced by literature, it balances art-house traditions with socially conscious storytelling, exploring morality, class, and the rhythms of rural life.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
