 * Symbol possible vote.svg - The length (over a 5x expansion) and Date are good, however while the quote is cited correctly as is the description of the film being about his becoming blind, I am concerned about saying that his words are "much quoted" especially when the sources make no mention of that.

 * All three sources mention about his quote:
 * 1. 2nd source satyajitray.org says "The sequence ends with a frozen shot of the painter in dark glass and the following words:"Blindness is a new feeling, a new experience, a new state of being".- Binode Bihari Mukherjee."
 * 2. 3rd source by Madhuja Mukherjee mentions "For instance, Binode Bihari’s expression “Blindness is a new feeling, a new experience, a new state of being”, has a strong parallel with K C Dey’s approach to blindness."
 * 3. 4th source also refers as "[...]and the following words appear:"Blindness is a new feeling, a new experience, a new state of being".- Binode Bihari Mukherjee."
 * Yes, but mentioning them and saying that it is "much quoted" is a different thing, inserting much quoted just because you have seen it often is original research, the claim has to be cited from somewhere else. If you were to remove the quote and have an alt with just the first half of the proposed hook then that would be fine as it is backed up in citations (although of the three cites, one is a blog/self published journal and not a reliable source).

 * I hear you now. But I really want to have that quote in the hook as its new or different thought altogether. Would changing the hook and article to take out "much quoted" solve the problem?
