+Kalpana Lajmi’s directorial debut tells a story of
+extramarital sex in the tea gardens of Assam.
+Priyam (Azmi), married to the staid but loving
+Ved (Shah), has an affair with her former
+boyfriend Jeet (Shaikh) while her husband is
+away. She becomes pregnant. Having already
+had one miscarriage, she is determined to keep
+the baby despite her boyfriend’s protests. On
+his return, Ved eventually accepts both his
+unfaithful wife and her baby. Lajmi explained
+that she set the story in Assam to link the
+heroine’s innocence and later loneliness with
+the environment, but the easier if less
+sympathetic explanation is reviewer Aloknanda
+Datta’s (in Splice, July 1986) suggestion that the
+gardens merely provide an exotic backdrop.
+Famous Assamese singer-composer Hazarika
+contributes some fine compositions,
+overcoming the mandatory emphasis on
+regional folk-music in films set in exotic
+locales.
