I heard the Director, Girash Karnad, speak about this film as part of a panel called Celluloid Lives at the Kennedy Center last weekend (along with Sharmila Tagore and Sadanand Menon.) I wanted to tell you that I "borrowed" your screen shot of the title, but I've linked to your blog above it. If thats not ok, I will remove it. Thanks for your excellent reviews.DJ Carl Hamm https://www.blogger.com/profile/10027618884656146893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-32964135893617927592010-04-16T00:12:08.618-05:002010-04-16T00:12:08.618-05:00Hi!

If you run short of things to watch, you should watch Minchina Ota, and TV series Malgudi days..directed by him. <br /><br /><br />humble correction: it is "Chaarudatta" ..by Bhaasa. and "Mriccha katika" by Shudraka..nphardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263928768393779529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-72953835683583317922010-03-19T07:50:10.575-05:002010-03-19T07:50:10.575-05:00Does Shankar Nag remind you of Johnyy Depp?

Now this was in my pre-Bolly deewana days so believe it or not, although Shash and Rekha and the rest made an appearance, I ignored them and concentrated on the movie and my ushering duties instead.<br />I remember then, being impressed by Neena Gupta and her bikini tube tops. Now if I had seen more Bolly, I'd have known that there was a lot of skin show even before then. Also liked the erotic content and most of all, the fact that it was a depiction of ancient Indian culture. Amrapali is another historical and may be in roughly the same era.<br />Mira Nair, if you remember, had Rekha as the "mentor courtesan" in Kamasutra. I bet Mira cast her in that role because of this movie.sophynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-80815226463485111492010-03-18T03:57:01.968-05:002010-03-18T03:57:01.968-05:00What if this film had been made 10 or even 5 years...What if this film had been made 10 or even 5 years earlier, with Shashi playing Charudutt? <i>Then</i> Vasantsena's instant attraction to Charudutt would make sense...
