+An exemplary tale set in a middle-class artistic
+milieu inaugurating Nihalani’s long-term
+project of filmed theatre. Mrs Rane (Mehta)
+hosts a party for the recipient of a literary prize
+(Singh). The gathered ‘intelligentsia’ are
+revealed to be shallow hypocrites compared
+with the absent poet Amrit (Shah), who
+abandoned his literary career to become an
+activist among the tribals. The original Marathi
+play was criticised for its superficial depiction
+of the Bombay intelligentsia and the film does
+not really improve matters. Nihalani
+commented about the differences between the
+play and the film: ‘There is a major difference
+in the thrust. The play is concerned with the
+question of art versus life. The film goes a bit
+further and tries to see whether a person can
+have two contrary sets of morality: one as an
+artist and the other as a human being.’
