“Bhupenda Uncut is a candid camera first person account of Assam’s legendary singer-musical maestro Bharat Ratna Dr Bhupen Hazarika while he was on a visit to England in 1999 to participate in a cultural programme organized by the Assam Medical College Doctors Alumni Group,” stated a press release.

“In this documentary Bhupenda, as he is fondly referred to by all, spoke at length about his childhood – the influence and interaction with cultural stalwarts like Jyoti Prasad Agarwala the pioneer of Assamese cinema, his pursuit of higher studies in New York, how he met his wife Priyamvada Patel – the dynamics of their relationship as well as his philosophy and ideology. In these candid moments, Bhupenda also recited a few of his poetry some of which we believe have not yet been published,” added the release.
