"The Last Song" is the reflection of false glamorization of tobacco felt by yet another victim of tobacco. Mr. Babu Lal. As a young adult, Babu Lal saw all his friends and companions smoking and thought it to be a good thing. He fell in for tobacco and consumed "Beedi's" (Indian Local Cigarette) for 20 years.
He was proud of his voice but his tobacco addiction made him a victim of CANCER. His voice box is to be removed (At the time of recording of this clip). When he realized that this might be his last day with voice, he sings his last song. In the background is the song of a popular Hindi movie (Bidi Jaliye Leh) which in a way shows how tobacco smoking is glamorized through movies.
The shots have been clicked on an amateurist non-professional camera (by a young doctor) and have been transformed into an awareness movie by Burning Brain Society & Hemant Goswami.
Share the movie freely. It is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_pFbJDnZpY and http://burningbrain.org/lastsong.htm
