Plot
An evening of intellectuals in Bombay.
Sinekatalog’s take
Govind Nihalani's drama gathers Bombay's intellectuals at a dinner for a famous writer, with art, politics and hypocrisy under scrutiny. Om Puri and Vijaya Mehta lead a sharp, talky and absorbing ensemble piece.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
