Bhumika : The Role

This is another movie Naseeruddin has mentioned in his autobiography. He has a very short role in this one.
Bhumika stars Smita Patil, Amol Palekar, Naseeruddin Shah, Amrish Puri, Dina Pathak, Anant Nag and  Kulbhushan Kharbanda and has been directed by Shyam Benegal.
It won Filmfare Award for Best Movie and two National awards.
The movie is based on the memoirs of a Marathi actress 'Hansa Wadkar'. It is a very bold movie for its times. In 2014, the story does not seem unique or earth shattering but in 1977 it was probably first of its kind.

Nishant

I wanted to watch this flick after reading Naseeruddin Shah's autobiography.
The movie also stars Girish Karnad, Shabana Azmi, Amrish Puri, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Smita Patil and is directed by Shyam Benegal. In fact, this is Naseer's and Smita's first film.

Bazaar

I came across this flick on itunes and decided to watch it. It stars Naseeruddin Shah, Smita Patil, Farooq Shaikh, Supriya Pathak and Bharat Kapoor. It released in 1982 (before I was born) and addresses the issue of men from Gulf buying young, nubile girls from poor parents.
The issue still remains... I know of women who were/almost were given off to rich, not so great men (old/fat/balding) because the parents were poor.

Arth

I watched Arth again last night. KC had not watched it and was hooked after sometime. In today's time, the story will not seem unique 'coz there have been so many remakes.
The movie is loosely based on Mahesh Bhatt's affair with Parveen Babi. Apparently, Parveen was pissed off after watching the flick.
