+The final part of the director’s trilogy dealing
+with contemporary middle-class Bengali
+politics (Dooratwa, 1978; Grihajuddha,
+1982) is his first film in Hindi. Set in Calcutta in
+the early 70s, the central figure is a left activist
+and school teacher, Hemanta. Narrowly
+escaping being murdered by the police,
+Hemanta finds his political organisation in
+disarray and flees to Bombay where he leads a
+quiet life though his nerves are still shattered
+by his Calcutta experiences. Through a friend,
+Rakesh, Hemanta meets Jaya and they marry.
+To help raise money to buy a flat, Jaya
+reluctantly becomes a model for advertisement
+photographs. Obsessed with the desire to
+secure a middle-class lifestyle, Hemanta forces
+Jaya to take on demeaning photographic
+assignments and, to impose his will on her, he
+rapes her. Jaya commits suicide and Hemanta
+finds himself facing the police again.
