Problem 4 - Olympiad

Which filmmaker, known for his experimental approach and significant contributions to Indian parallel cinema, directed the 1969 film 'Bhuvan Shome', a landmark movie often credited with ushering in the 'New Indian Cinema' movement?

Correct: B

Mrinal Sen directed 'Bhuvan Shome', a critically acclaimed film that received the National Film Award for Best Feature Film and is widely regarded as a seminal work in the Indian New Wave or parallel cinema movement. Shyam Benegal and Govind Nihalani were also key figures in this movement, but 'Bhuvan Shome' is singularly Mrinal Sen's achievement.
