Women who give birth to Muslims are not circumcised themselves,
Women who give birth to Brahmins do not wear the sacred thread.

A rhyme of Islamic learning, a poem going beyond mosques and
spiritual teaching and a musical celebrating the journey of reaching divinity
forms the essence of Bishar Blues documentary. Resonating on to the beats of Bengali homeland, Amitabh Chakraborty
showcases the life of Bengali Fakirs in reelity.
Recording amidst the rhythm of ignored boroughs of West
Bengal, these fakirs echo the universal knowledge of Marfat that is a Muslim community far from the
mainstream practices of Shariat. The very essence goes back to the age-old
baritones of Islam which by-passes the materialistic route between man and The
Almighty. Unlike the powerful Muslims,
the simplistic living of the Prophet and succeeding Khalifas was the reason
they could strike a connection with Allah.
Mansoor Fakir who is one of the spiritual stars of this
Partha Barman's discography reminisces the times when his devout Muslim father
threw away the veil system within his Pathan rooted family. Further to this,
his father created an ashram and would sing the songs of enlightenment with his
fellow Hindu brothers.
People who have knowledge of the self know how God's workshop functions.
Expanding the thread of knowing the inner you can lead to
reaching God, this Best Non-Feature National Film Award recipient highlights
the tales of brotherhood and building a link with the Almighty. With minimal
Amit Debnath and Amitabh's edits, the film showcases the ethnic and
geographical mix of Islam through Marfat's songs brilliantly.
