Now I can say the same after passing away of our this Indian new wave filmmaker Kumar Shahani! Before him, the great pioneers of our this genre of cinema..Mrinal Sen ('Bhuvan Shome' fame) and Mani Kaul ('Uski Roti' fame) left this world!<br /></span><br /><span style="color: red;">In late 60s, Kumar Shahani studied Screen writing and Direction under the guidance of great Ritwik Ghatak in 'Film Institure' (FTII) at Pune. After that he did his further studies in France where he assisted renowned filmmaker who known for his ascetic approach..Robert Bresson for his βUne Femme Douceβ (1969). Then he came back to India and made his first feature film 'Maya Darpan' (1972) which was produced by 'NFDC'. This 'mirror of illusion' was critically acclaimed and started artistic discussion!</span><br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbznrZ5NEBmlQYq-75On5r_m2LmN9vHq08Kq4oc_HHjnZmkrxAMNGowGbPCcYCzYTfx9FA0IWSlx8fL8Jw1Q0dPqyXZNuLu5bbmTDiszu4oY13sLgnIB2UJqLjpG3KEfJNW0hUM2zAtELn3HR3mSgI65DMRzqB4nl15Uk_xnH-9a5pJG-YeoPtRA2QQuc/s714/Kumar%20Shahani%20film%20-%20khayal%20gatha%201989.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="536" data-original-width="714" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbznrZ5NEBmlQYq-75On5r_m2LmN9vHq08Kq4oc_HHjnZmkrxAMNGowGbPCcYCzYTfx9FA0IWSlx8fL8Jw1Q0dPqyXZNuLu5bbmTDiszu4oY13sLgnIB2UJqLjpG3KEfJNW0hUM2zAtELn3HR3mSgI65DMRzqB4nl15Uk_xnH-9a5pJG-YeoPtRA2QQuc/w400-h300/Kumar%20Shahani%20film%20-%20khayal%20gatha%201989.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #ff00fe; font-size: x-small;">Kumar Shahani's lyrical film 'Khayal Gatha' (1989).</span></b></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color: #cc0000;">Then </span><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" dir="auto" style="color: #cc0000;">Shahani</span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> made short films like 'Our Universe' (1976).

This film was uncharacteristically conventional with song sequences! After that his 'Khayal - Gatha' (1989) was an experimental film which showed the relationship of Khayal singing with classical dance. Rajat Kapoor and Mita Vasisht acted in it! After that his film 'Kasba' (1991) was based on the Russian playwright Anton Chekhov's short story 'In the Ravine'! Shatrughan Sinha and Raghubir Yadav played roles in it! And his film 'Char Adhyay' (1997) was based on the Rabindranath Tagore's last novel.
