00:00The year 1999, we were invited to shoot a program of Dr. Bhupen Hazarika in England.

00:10At that time, a serial of ours was going on on Durdashan Guwahati called Gitti Malika.

00:16And this program in England was organized by Assam Medical College, Dr. Zagumnai,

00:22and Dr. Nipen Barkatuki, he was the chief organizer.

00:25He invited us and said that since you are doing a program,

00:28song-based program for Guwahati Durdashan,

00:30will you be able to show our program?

00:32We were very happy.

00:33So we went there and shot with Dr. Hazarika,

00:36and we showed that program in Durdashan.

00:39But along with that, we had met Dr. Hazarika very closely,

00:44whom we refer to, everybody refers to him as Bhupenda.

00:48And we got very good, had a very good interaction with him.

00:54And my husband, Chinmoy, with his Hyatt camera, he captured all those moments, personal moments,

01:02how he, you know, in his childhood, who influenced him,

01:07and his time in New York when he went for higher studies, his marriage,

01:12and very little, and also important that he recited some poems,

01:20which I believe some of them had not yet been published.

01:23So with this, we wanted to have a documentary on him,

01:27since it is a centenary celebration.

01:29And out of that whole tapes which we have digitized,

01:32we made a one-hour documentary on him,

01:34which we are going to have a premiere show on 7th of September,

01:38in our Anuradha Cineplex.

01:40And for general public also, we thought since it is his birthday,

01:43and on 8th September, in his birthday week,

01:47we thought we would have a night show,

01:49so that general public can also watch his documentary.

01:55And on 11th Street.
