A documentary on singer-polymath Bhupen Hazarika premiered on Sunday (September 7, 2025), a day ahead of the launch of the year-long celebrations to mark his birth centenary.In the 65-minute film, a first-person account shot in England in 1999, the music maestro recites some of his “unpublished” poems. The documentary is titled Bhupen da Uncut.“The footage of the documentary is of vintage quality, given the year when it was shot as a candid camera first-person account. It was filmed during his visit to England to participate in a cultural programme organised by the Assam Medical College Doctors’ alumni group,” the documentary’s producer-director, Bobbeeta Sharma, said.
