It is a nice fusion of Bengali-Hindu cultures from two ages separated long apart. We, present day people have very little idea of the olden folk poets and their religious and cultural works. This film has a lot of historical significance in that context also. A person of very remote origin can also thrive and mix into a particular culture if he really loves it. Underlying the cultural scenario there is the eternal story of love between a man and a woman. But it has never stooped to cheap sentimentalism, which is everywhere so prevalent nowadays. It may be a bit inconvenient for other than Bengal origin people to appreciate the true spirit of the nineteenth century folk literature. But the appeal of the movie can truly be universal even with subtitles.
