+FTII-graduate Mahapatra’s low-key first
+feature, shot on 16mm with non-professional
+actors in Puri, a small coastal town in Orissa.
+The plot concerns the break-up of a middleclass
+extended family. The former freedom
+fighter Raj Kishore (Satpathy), now an elderly
+school headmaster, lives with his four sons and
+only daughter. The eldest son Tuku (Mishra)
+and his wife Prabha (Manaswini) are expected
+to help pay for the education of the younger
+siblings while the second son Tutu (Mahapatra)
+marries a well-off woman (Sujata) who insists
+on a separate household. In the end, Tuku
+refuses to keep shouldering the burdens of the
+extended family and the unit disintegrates. The
+director, a noted teacher and writer of film
+theory, acknowledges the influence of Yasujiro
+Ozu’s editing style.
