Doctor

An early example of social realism that reached its height with Udayer Pathey and more memorably with Chhinnamul Doctor was meant as a stringent critique of practices that were beginning to be deemed as persistant evils that plague society namely superstitions religious dogma and discrimination on the basis of caste However that would be a far too simplistic reading of the multiple thematic elements that tie together the narrative of Doctor The idea of caste based discrimination violence and uppercaste hypocrisy is placed alongside the notions of generational conflict in a fatherson relationship and the idea of a everwidening generation gap especially in the historical and sociopolitical context of the film
