Curiosidades
Each session ends with Birinchi swooning into a cataleptic trance, requiring that he be carried unconscious back to his room. It's a gag favored by witch doctors and mediums, even Peter Finch's news anchor Howard Beale in Sidney Lumet's Network, un mundo implacable (1976). The dramatic ritual lets Birinchi Baba evade inconvenient questions, but also provides Satya's friends with a clever means to expose him as a fraud.

Pifias
Plato is claimed to have been a Roman astrologer instead of a Greek philosopher.

Citas
Nitai: If an insurance agent like you can do hatha-yoga, my boy, why can't I find a Baba?

Cultural vignette

This is one of Ray's short stories. It lacks the intensity of his full-length features. Its a satire which appropriately captures the post-independence Indian zeitgeist. Its a sweet tale of how a charlatan is exposed with help from basic science and motivation from a lover boy in distress. Be it a short story or not, in every one of his movies, Ray has been a beacon by conveying his socially progressive ideas. He's a master at exposing the fault lines in the Indian society and delivering his wisdom packaged in a entertaining manner. I saw the movie in a combination pack with another one of his shorts - Kapurush. Kapurush is an emotion-packed drama. It captures the anxiety and rekindling of emotions of a chance meeting between two estranged lovers.
