Baul Movie 1985 Tagori based on Radharani Dasi

BabuKishan.org

The #Film based on #RadharaniDasi’s life (Daughter of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul: 
#TAGORI 
 
Tagori (1985): The Cinematic Blueprint of the Baul IdentityThe film Tagori, directed by the brilliant Ajit Ganguly, stands as a historical pillar in Bengali cinema. Based on the life of Radharani Dasi—the daughter of Nabani Das Khyapa Baul—it served as a definitive record of the family’s legacy. The production featured the authentic lineage, including Brajabala Dasi, Purna Das Baul, Manju Das, and the young Krishnendu Das (Babu Kishan), alongside other family members like Laxman Das and Chakradhar Das.
The Invention of the "Baul Look"One of the most significant, yet uncredited, historical facts regarding this film is that Babu Kishan designed the iconic patchwork dress worn in the movie. This specific aesthetic—the Alkhalla—has since been copied by every "cosplaying" Baul since 1985. After watching Purna Das Baul in Tagori, performers began mimicking this exact design to appear "authentic." Similarly, the specific attire worn by Baul women in the modern era was also a creation of Babu Kishan for this production. What the world now considers "traditional Baul clothing" was, in fact, a deliberate artistic design by Babu Kishan to represent his family on screen.
Musical and Creative ContributionsBabu Kishan’s involvement in Tagori went far beyond costume design. He served as the Assistant Music Director, where he achieved a significant milestone by composing two songs for the film—one performed by his father, Purna Das Baul, and the other by his mother, Manju Das.
His creative influence extended to the very atmosphere of the film:
Location Scouting: He provided the production with the best, most authentic locations to capture the spirit of the Rarh region.
Styling the Stars: He designed the costumes not only for his parents but also for the lead actors Sandhya Roy and Santu Mukherjee, ensuring the visual integrity of the Baul culture was maintained.
Continued Collaboration: Following the success of Tagori, Babu Kishan continued to assist Director Ajit Ganguly on other vital films, such as Hansraj and Srimati Hansraj.
The Legacy of the "Tagori" InfluenceThese films were more than just entertainment; they were a cultural phenomenon that inspired generations of Bengali women. Even today, the figure of Tagori remains a symbol of spiritual and artistic independence.
However, there is a bittersweet reality to this success: the "Pretendian" Bauls of today use the visual language established in Tagori—the patchwork, the styling, and the mannerisms—to market themselves to tourists. They want to be Tagori, but they lack the bloodline, the initiation, and the technical work that Babu Kishan poured into the film's creation. Tagori was a family record; today, it is used as a costume shop for those seeking fame without the sacrifice.

Babu Kishan designed the patchwork dress, worn in this movie, this is the same patchwork dress that all cosplaying Bauls have worn since 1985 after watching Purna Das Baul and copying from this movie.

Baul
 and Ramakrishna is only associated with KD Babu Kishan as he is the 
only Baul to be a monk in the Ramakrishna Mission for 12 years, this is a
 first and last in Baul. 
#Baul&Tantra 
Baul
 and Tantra is only associated with Nabani Das Khyapa Baul and KD Babu 
Kishan, Baul and Tarapith is only associated with them both too. Those 
others are not Baul as Baul Artist of an non-indigenous Baul is not a 
Baul but a users, poser, actor trying to remake the already lived lives 
of this parampara, do you speak the language, do you know what they are 
singing or who is the owner of the songs, or even if the songs are Baul 
songs, no you do not, so don't make emotional promotional comments when 
you do not even understand. You are cheering for a fake Baul and have no
 clue.

The practice of "Baul Kirtan-anga"   Copyright, all songs will be reclaimed that belong to this lineages.    
#BaulKirtan 
(only this lineage, parampara, no one used Baul kirtan until they read it on this blog, this is downright appropriation and false advertising by fake opportunistic self-titled so-called Bauls for marketing purposes, they have appropriated this lineages intellectual property, it can be proven and must be brought to the attention of the public because they are asking for donations and fundraising for jackpots, awards, grants and are not Baul, their Guru is a fake Baul Guru.

The "Rasa Lila Mystics"  this is the only lineage parampara that is Vaishnava and Vaishnava Sahajiya Gosia Chandra Das Baul and Dasi, there is not another, never was.                         #BaultheRasaLilaMystics

All content on this blog is the sole property of Babu Kishan aka Krishnendu Das. Please ask Babu directly before you name drop from his stories and lineage! Indigenous Baul identity theft is a real thing. No poaching, stealing, hijacking - by taking names off and recreating fake stories or stealing anything from this blog. This Blog is designed and written by Trishula Das who is Babu Kishan's wife of almost 20 years, listening to Baul for 24/7. Please do not copy these stories, rework them and then put your own name the stories or add other Baul names from fake lineages, there are no other lineages of Baul. Do not copy place by place, what he has accomplished reworking, retracing work, such as teaching at Universities when you never went to a University, or pretending you ever had an association with the Ramakrishna Mission when Babu Kishan the first and last Baul to attend the Ramakrishna Mission and fundraise for the Ramakrishna Mission for decades. Oh and worst yet do not make lose associations with Indian Cinema when Babu Kishan is the first and last and only Baul to have actually worked in all levels of Management, Filmaker and Music Composer in Indian Cinema (Bollywood). There is no need for fake PRETENDIAN Bauls called Baul Masters or Baul Artists to fundraise as saviours of Baul when Baul has already been preserved by Babu Kishan decades ago (1960- now) that is over 60 years. Please do not take his name off and tell his stories that can only be known or have only been told by Babu Kishan about his lineage of his Guru Nabani Das Khyapa Baul. Do not reprint and twist, turn, cherry pick, using names from Babu's life with people he knows, then on youtube talk like as if you know when you took it from this blog or his website. Do not make Baul randon or generic, to include yourself, first there is no way you are Baul and your fake Baul Guru and fake lineage are fakes, this is indigenous FRAUD. Nabani Das Style with Baya (hand drum at waist) Ektara and Nupoor style ankle bells, are Nabani Das Khyapa Baul style only, his son Purna Das Baul's style too, cease and desist from using their songs, style, faking this lineage this is indigenous identity theft, it not our fault your fake Baul Guru copied this whole lineage, it is your fault for lying and continuing the indigenous Fraud and even worse now trying to fundraise to preserve Baul when Baul is already preserved, this is indigenous fraud. This is Cultural Mis-Appropriation.

The content of this Blog will be expanded on and included in 'Historical Baul' to be released 2025 this is Babu Kishan's 4th book on Baul, the others are out of print from 1980's. Historical Autobiography of Baul The Rasa Lila Mystics Reclaiming the Indigenous Ancestral Heritage of the Vaishnava Sahajiya Tantric Bauls of Birbhum BAUL TANTRA- MANTRA- GOPI YANTRA, The path of the Avadhuta (Please do not call yourself an Avadhuta now) LOL Baul has been overworked, reworked so many times over, nobody would even know what is real and what is fake.

When anyone cuts the names and stories of this lineage off the stories and then replaces their names on these stories this is wrong. It is a fact that no one in India or around the World only know about Baul because of this family lineage.

This lineage is the first and only Pioneering Lineage to bring Baul out of the village in Birbhum to the World.

Some others were invited to travel with them or followed them, trying to do what they have already done, then Riding on the Coat Tails of this lineage saying they are they are first, they are not, the first Women Baul to travel around the world starting in 1969 was Manju Das before internet.

Copying what Babu Kishan and his family have already done is miseducating the public because many are making astronomical claims that are not true. Yet they are singing the songs of this lineage but adding other peoples names, this is a cultural appropriation. There is a Baul History and Her-story and this story was complete decades ago.

The real Baul is extinct! Babu Kishan has ARCHIVED BAUL decades ago, it has been done, it is complete. This will be presented one by one. This is important because 'Newcomers to BAUL', are watering down, reducing and dumbing down Baul. The speculation on who the Bauls are is mind boggling. Scholars have never got it right, they only speculate or talk to the wrong people. These statements will be qualified one by one.

Babu Kishan has preserved his one and only'Lineage Baul' because he could fore tell the change Baul was even going through back in the 1970's.

No one in this world would know who the Bauls of Bengal are without all the work of this family, this lineage and Babu Kishan. All Bauls follow this lineage, this lineage is ancient and they do not follow anybody.

The new Baul singers, follow this lineage by singing their songs, by dressing as they dress, by following them around the world and by meeting their friends.

Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg, Rabindranath Tagore, Osho and many others were only associated with this family and this lineage.

Babu Kishan is the eldest in his generation of Vaishnava Tantric Bauls, he is Nabani Das Khyapa Bauls eldest Grandson and raised by Nabani and Brajabala from Birth til he was 8 years of age, they instilled in him that he preserve his Lineage Baul and this he completed decades ago. It has been done and will only be presented in time.
