Hot steaming pile of propaganda trash aimed to whitewash a mass murderer's history. How do you turn a psychopath bigot into a hero? Watch this movie to learn that. But on the side note, the movie is absolute trash in terms of acting, story and direction.
Found this movie through MUBI India channel. I'm really impressed of the hard-hitting commentary of gender roles in Indian society made by this movie. There is no preaching, no patronizing, but just pure cinema and story-telling. For a movie of early 90s, making such relevant commentary on various issues such as child marriage, patriarchy, gender relations, rape, poverty, without telling you what to think of it - that is cinema. Way ahead of its time! Wonderful casting and brilliant performances.
I found this movie through MUBI - India channel. Like most of the reviews mention, this is a movie of a purely spiritual journey. You can sum it up in what Pallavi (Kitu Gidwani's character) says after her mother's death, "I have been singing all this while in my mother's scale (sur). I haven't been able to find mine. Now who'll teach me?". It is also a homage to the tradition of music-making, and what it takes to keep it alive, the sacrifices.
