A Fine example of Parralel Indian Cinema
By Geetika Kaushik from London, England , 04 May 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
A worthy performance from an ensemble of writer director and actors, many of whom at one time or other were students of National Television and Film Institute. That’s probably why this film was financed by Indian National film Development Corporation. It certainly had a social message for exploited women workers. Though the film does not seem to be outright about women’s movement and their collectives, it certainly highlighted the need for one. It seems like any one who was somebody serious about parallel cinema of 80’s is in this film. There are excellent performances by Samita Patil, Dipti Naval, Suresh Obroy and Raj Babbar. The only person who seems uncomfortable amongst all these fine performance is Naseeruddin Shah as subedar. Ketan Mehata was amongst the leading light of parallel cinema of 80’s before it fizzeled out in mid 90’s. A very interesting representative of a period in Indian cinema.- Was this review helpful to you?
