Bhupen da Uncut to release on eve of Hazarika’s birth centenary

A rare glimpse into Bharat Ratna awardee Dr. Bhupen Hazarika’s life will be unveiled in a new documentary set to release on September 7, on the eve of the music legend’s birth centenary.
The 65-minute documentary, titled ‘Bhupen Da Uncut’, is a candid camera first person account of Assam’s legendary singer-musical maestro while he was on a visit to England in 1999 to participate in a cultural programme organised by the Assam Medical College Doctors Alumni Group, film’s director Bobbeeta Sharma said on Thursday.
In the documentary, Bhupenda, as he is fondly referred to by all, spoke at length about his childhood and the influence and interaction with cultural stalwarts like Jyoti Prasad Agarwala, pioneer of Assamese cinema, she said. (PTI)
