 In 1983 , while working on Ghare Baire ( Home and the World ) , Ray suffered a heart attack ; it would severely limit his productivity in the remaining 9 years of his life . Ghare Baire was completed in 1984 with the help of Ray 's son ( who operated the camera from then on ) because of his health condition . He had wanted to film this Tagore novel on the dangers of fervent nationalism for a long time , and wrote a first draft of a script for it in the 1940s . In spite of rough patches due to Ray 's illness , the film did receive some critical acclaim . It had the first kiss fully portrayed in Ray 's films . In 1987 , he made a documentary on his father , Sukumar Ray .
