🎬 Benares and the Ganges River (1931)
Caution: The narration is high on white man's burden hence is clearly offensive & displays unabashed bigotry, ignorance and hatred for the rich heritage of Hinduism and India.
P.S: Just switched off the audio & enjoy the rare visuals.

Oh man how to begin, this is a brutal honest, unapologetic & gut wrenching portrayal from storytelling point of view.

I think @vivekagnihotri has taken a great leaps when it comes to his craft compared to his previous works. The improvement over the pitch and the screenplay by not letting personal ideological leaning reflect the project, is a sign of maturing as a craftsman in my opinion.
