+Kasaravalli’s multiple-point-of-view melodrama
+tells the story of Tabara (Charuhasan), a lowranking
+worker in a municipal office who
+espouses colonial views despite his obvious
+pride in his job in a post-Independence
+government. Tabara gets into financial trouble
+when his honesty causes enmity among the
+coffee planters, and his pension is held up
+because he has not remitted some taxes that he
+was supposed to have collected. His wife falls
+ill and his ‘case’ becomes a mere file number in
+a bureaucratic office. The film is narrated from
+different points of view: the colonial point of
+view, the bureaucratic one, the view of those
+who believe Tabara to be mentally deranged
+and, mainly, the view of the orphan Babu
+through whose eyes the steel and concrete
+urban future is presented. Although primarily
+told in a realist idiom, at times (e.g. the shots of
+Bangalore and in the municipal office) the
+camerawork anticipates the surrealism of the
+sequel, Mane/Ek Ghar (1989).
