With the love for Babas and other holy men much in vogue amongst many Indians even today, it can be well understood that 50 years back the scenario was even worse. Before the age of internet, learned but wicked men could fool gullible people at will. Birinchi Baba plays his role perfectly and the movie moves on a light note. The hand rotation in reverse directions is wonderfully done. But the climax peters out in quite a drab manner. I'm nobody to criticize Ray's work, but probably it could have done with a bit more detailing!!

I was there said the Holy Man and many other claims were made by the clever con from India who has camped out at a believers house. However Love conquers Con and a camp fire puts the Holy man on the run, but not without compensation!

Those who are into the afterlife, this a a must movie to see. Beware of false prophets and you will overcome such scams.
