This is a Bengali film from 1960 directed by Satyajit Ray and starring Sharmila Tagore.
The film is well edited and directed but the script/message has the wrong intent clearly within.
It gives a wrong message that beliefs and traditions are all wrong. If the message was to convey that superstitions and obsessions are to be avoided, that's not how the message came through.
For the believing patriarch, when he pleads to Mother Kali in pain, the scorn thrown at him is that he killed the grandson.
Instead the message could have been in the middle of the film to convey that the patriarch's misconceptions are corrected before it's too late and he learns that it's important to apply balance in one's approach to life.
I rated it 5/10 in IMDB for the wrong way the message was delivered by this film.
