This is an incredible film with incredible cinematography. It is a BW low budget film. Still, both the director and the photographer did a tremendous job in terms of cinematography.
Now a bit about the story. It is written by a (famous) Bengali writer with the pen-name (Bonophool). You can see his real name at Wikipedia. The movie moves around a Bengali-babu (gentleman) who is a railway officer. His life is essentially insipid. In his duck hunting trip to a remote place in Gujrat (a state in India), he would meet Gauri. Gauri is hauntingly beautiful -- in her mind that is. Although the hunting experience is a (quasi)fiasco, he comes back as a rejuvenated man with a new perspective of life.
It is one of those films that feels like a Bunuel film and much much more. I have watched it so many times!
