+When a lowly paid engineer (Naresh) finds
+himself in debt as a result of his lavish lifestyle,
+his wife (Indraja) bails him out by starting a
+home-based saree-dyeing business. Earlier, the
+independent yet traditionalist character of the
+wife was established when she offered her
+future husband a dowry that she raised against
+a personal bank loan. The ‘offbeat’ film
+includes scenes in which, faced by a rape
+attempt from her husband, she threatens to kill
+him, and ends when he, chastised by his wife’s
+initiative, finally ‘accepts’ her as an equal. The
+director’s earlier Lathi (1992) had been
+critiqued for betraying an excessive influence
+of his mentor Ram Gopal Varma. That
+influence continues to be in evidence in the
+depiction of a lavishly shot, low-lit world of
+domesticity. The domestic here is curiously
+shut off from the world outside, emphasising
+instead its effort to suture female sexuality and
+woman’s economic independence into a
+traditionalising narrative about the ‘new’
+woman in the context of a consumerist middleclass.
+It also had a successful musical score.
