Sinekatalog’s take
Aparna Sen's drama follows a married woman whose affair with a younger photographer awakens her sense of self and then isolates her from her family. Aparna Sen and Rakhee Gulzar lead a daring, honest film that won a Filmfare award.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
