In the show, the “Barfi!” director recreates the magic of old Bengal through some of Tagore’s short stories and novels like “Chokher Bali”, “Charulata” and “Atithi”.
“Stories by Rabindranath Tagore”, which will go on air in July, explores the different roles that women play and the bold steps that they took in the nostalgic times of old Bengal, in many trying situations.
