Shyam Benegal is not my favourite filmmaker. I find his insipid,
timorous treatment of gratuitous political themes, very compromised.
His flirtation with issues of feudal oppression, gender conflicts,
class struggles and rural resistance have been elaborate cover-ups
against any serious show of commitment or any radical departure.
