Synopsis : The documentary film is based on the life and times of legendary elocutionist Pradip Ghosh, who was known for taking recitation of Bengali poetry to the global forum. The film contains reflections and recollections by some literary and cultural icons of Bengal. Ghosh was the only elocutionist to be invited to perform at the Indian Parliament. Recitation of poems by KaziNazrul Islam earned fame for Ghosh but he expanded himself far beyond the classical Bengali poetry and reached out to the most recent works by modern-day poets. His impeccable pronunciation and presentation with controlled emotion made him equally popular in Bangladesh as well. The film tried to look at the doyen of recitation from all sides. His students, colleagues, friends and contemporary artistes paid tribute to the great soul of unmatched dedication.
