His next film was Neel Akasher Nichey. It received moderate
success. His third film was Bishey Sharavan which was a film with
heavy political
message. It got
immediate success and gave him international exposure. Later came his
film Bhuvan Shome which began ‘New
Cinema’ in the Indian film scenario. It is in the context of his political leanings that pseudo-real elements enter his films. Unlike Satyajit Ray or Ritwik Ghatak, Sen had not always showed the characters in a realistic set up. His films are full of montages and sudden jerks with still frames. These create an environment required to state a political idea.
