Tagore was a family friend of the Ray's (he was a close friend of Ray's grandfather), and Ray himself studied at Shantiniketan, the educational abode founded by Tagore. So his influence on Ray was that much more profound. Yes, it would be great to have a biopic on Tagore, though as far as I know such a biopic hasn't been made on him. It would be a challenging job for any filmmaker. After all, when it comes to making a biopic on personalities like Tagore or Einstein or Da Vinci that hasn't been told already. However, there are episodes of his life that could be brought to the celluloid.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-69614624844306202492011-07-01T14:03:46.324+05:302011-07-01T14:03:46.324+05:30Hey, this is a fantastic post - totally second eve...Hey, this is a fantastic post - totally second everything you say about Tagore & Ray. 'The Renaissance Man of India' - this is arguably one of the clearest ways of summing up the magnificent achievements of such a towering figure of Bengali/Indian culture. I would love to see Indian cinema make a biopic on Tagore - a good one that is or have we had one already?Omarhttp://omarsfilmblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
