+Bhatt follows his successful Arth (1982) with
+this expressionistic psychodrama about old
+age, fading idealism and political corruption.
+Old Pradhan (Kher, in his debut performance),
+a retired headmaster, and his wife Parvati
+(Hattangadi) learn that their son, studying in
+New York, has been mugged and killed.
+Pradhan goes through the trauma of
+bureaucratic corruption to receive his cremated
+son’s ashes at the airport. Their tenant Sujata
+(Razdan), a young actress, is in love with Vilas
+(Jain), whose father is the corrupt politician
+Chitre (Phule). When Sujata finds herself
+pregnant, Pradhan and Parvati believe that it is
+their son reborn and protect Sujata from
+Chitre’s threats. The problem of bureaucratic
+ineptitude is solved when Pradhan goes to
+meet a minister who turns out to be his former
+student and still retains his old teacher’s sense
+of integrity. In the end, the old couple are
+reconciled to the loss of their son. The film has
+an oppressive soundtrack, with heavy music
+and effects underlining the states of loneliness,
+fear and frustration.
