Motwane included old documentary footage purchased from Kohinoor and Krishna Film, as well as a shot of Rabindranath Tagore singing his Jana Gana Mana composition, one of Indiaβs national anthems (Arunkumar Royβs Of Tagore and Cinema, 1994, traces this footage to Ufa, shot when Tagore visited Munich)
