The Holy Man

Based on a short story Birinchibaba by Bengali writer Rajshekhar Basu, the film tells the story of Birinchi (Charuprakash Ghosh), a "Babaj" (or saint) who claims to be ageless, and even says that he's rubbed shoulders with Jesus and Buddha, not to mention taught Einstein the theory of relativity. Despite his outlandish claims, widower Gurupada Mitter (Prasad Mukherjee) and his daughter Buchki (Geetali Roy) become Birinchi's disciples, leaving Buchki's spurned lover Satya (Satindra Bhattacharya) with the task of outing the faux holy man.
