Two movies that draw on Rabindranath Tagore’s life. The first, Kadambari, is on his sister-in-law Kadambari Devi who committed suicide at an early age. Pics 1 and 2 are of Konkona Sen-Sharma and Parambrata Chatterjee as Kadambari and Rabindranath in the movie. The second, Jeevan Smriti, is a documentary based on Tagore’s life and made for Doordarshan for the author’s 150th death anniversary by Rituparno Ghosh. The documentary spans Tagore’s life from his childhood to his death. Raima Sen and Samadarshi Dutta play Kadambari and Rabindranath. Both films draw on the many images of the Tagore family for costuming, the latter more so it would appear from the stills. -- source link
