+Benegal’s melodrama addresses the condition
+of Muslim refugees in Bombay, an issue made
+relevant by the Hindu Shiv Sena’s attacks on
+minorities in the city as alleged ‘Pakistanis’.
+Mammo, aka Mahmood Begum (Jalal), arrives
+in Bombay unannounced to stay with her sister
+Fayyazi (Sikri) and the latter’s orphaned
+grandson Riyaz (Phalke). She was evicted from
+her marital home in Lahore after her husband’s
+death. Arriving on a temporary visitor’s visa,
+she tries legally as well as through bribery to
+convert the visa into one enabling permanent
+residence, asserting her right to stay on as an
+Indian national. The story is told through the
+eyes of Riyaz, who initially resents her arrival in
+their cramped Bombay flat. Mammo is
+deported, but returns in the end, hopefully for
+good.
