This is a lost gem from Shyam Benegal’s filmography. Surprisingly one hardly reads/hears anything about this movie, when in fact it is a wonderfully detailed and layered atmospheric movie, that has an almost haunting feel to it. I must have watched this movie years ago on Doordarshan (India’s national television channel) eons back when i was just about 12-13 years old. And for obvious reasons it has stayed with me the same way Peter Weir’s "Picnic at Hanging Rock" is still fresh in my mind. To be honest though I didn’t even recall the name of the movie or who

One of the best things about the so-called parallel cinema movement in the 80's was the amazing variety of subjects that it chose to portray it’s cinematic idiom with. Moving away from the urban-mainstream clutter of boy-meets-girl themes and angry young man against entire corrupt system (although not in entirety), the film-makers chose to scourge the hinterland and look for something different, even unique.
