+A sporting melodrama about a wayward but
+determined swimming coach, Kshitish Sinha
+(Chatterjee), and his star disciple, the female
+street urchin Kony (Bannerjee). Under her
+coach’s tutelage, Kony overcomes all
+adversities, including hostile sports
+administrators, and wins her race. Adapted
+from a story by the noted sports journalist and
+novelist Moti Nandy (cf. the novel Striker,
+filmed in 1978). Both the realism and the
+political references mandatory in Bengali
+cinema (club rivalry, Sinha becoming a
+speechwriter for a politically ambitious
+industrialist) are present, and Kony’s general
+defiance of both gender and class oppression
+keeps the sentimentalism within bounds.
+Director Saroj De was associated with the
+famous Agragami collective
