A commercial disaster, which caused the maverick director to stop making and go into depression; this semi autobiographical film about the rise and fall of a director would only get critical acclaim decades later.

Felini’s iconic standout would come in 1963 but a little known Hindi film already existed, unknown, unappreciated even by it’s own audience.

Filled with gorgeous cinematography and widescreen shots, it is only now that his films have started to be restored.
