Mandi (Market Place) is by far, Shyam Babu’s most realized, most multifarious, and most seductive work. It is a supremely entertaining and trenchant commentary on society. The brothel is a character in itself with a distinguished structure. The place is filled with laughter, music, drama, depth, and secrets. The brothel has an eco-system of its own...
Eons before the term ‘intersectional feminism’ could be Googled, Mr. Shyam Benegal was holding its torch in India with almost all his films. His heroines never needed a man for approval, to say the least. With Bhumika – The Role, Shyam Benegal dials the notch multifold upwards. This is his most personal and internal film. It is based on the memoirs...
Based on Ruskin Bond’s A Flight of Pigeons, Junoon (The Obsession) is based on a true story of a seething account of the 1857 revolution. By far, it’s the most intelligent and sensitive exploration of the event on celluloid. Junoon,is a very angry film. It’ll exhaust you by its passion at the end of it. There’s not one or two but 5 central characte...
Nobody and I’ll say it again, nobody adapts books, articles, and stories like Shyam Benegal. The closest someone could reach around that orb is Vishal Bharadwaj. Mammois based on a piece written by Khalid Mohammed for a publication. It depicts his real-life experiences. Shyam Babu, was so enamored by the idea that he finally convinced Mohammed to m...
Trikal(Past, Present, and Future), is singularly one of the most important films for Indian audiences and filmmakers for multiple reasons. One being, it taps a part of Indian history that is largely anonymous to most Indians, and the world. The film is set during the pre-liberation period, traveling to the last days of colonialism in India. This ti...
French Philosopher, Simone Weil once said, “Oppression that is clearly inexorable and invincible does not give rise to revolt, but to submission”.And it perfectly encapsulates Nishant (Night’s End) in its spirit. The film’s calm pace totally works in its favor because the plodding build-up sets up the stage for an exhilarating climax. Shyam Benegal...
Based on Dharmveer Bharati’s well-known work of the same name, Suraj Ka Satvan Ghoda(The Sun’s Seventh Horse) focuses on a bachelor (Manik, played with perfection by the debutant Rajit Kapur), who narrates three short stories of three women who came into his life. All these three women are radically unique and they represent different social strata...
Manthan(The Churning), is undoubtedly among Shyam Benegal’s best movies but the foremost reason for me to include it in this list is the implication it has in Indian cinema, as well as in the Indian economy. So, the intriguing story goes, Shyam Benegal, along with the incomparable Vijay Tendulkar, had written a script about the White Revolution and...
After debuting with Ankur in 1974, Shyam Benegal unleashed the avalanche of his talent on the world, year after year, relentlessly. Nishant and Charandas Chor in 1975, Manthan in 1976, Bhumika in 1977, Kondurain 1978, and Junoon in 1979! He let us breathe in 1980 and the downpour resurrected from 1981 again. With that kind of bodywork, deciding on ...
Okay, so I have a confession to make. Arohan(The Ascent) is the last-minute inclusion to this list. And it consequently snubs out Shyam Benegal’s debut film Ankur (1974). I’m equally mad at myself as you are right now but hear me out first. As I’ve already mentioned, Shyam Benegal triggered the wave of New Indian Cinema, or parallel cinema so to sa...
- Ankur (1974) This movie is one of the first movies that made the wave of New Cinema commercially viable. A story about a society thoroughly and entirely inflicted by the caste-system, this movie touches upon the topics of female sexuality, caste based exploitation and the debauchery of respected families and extreme unimaginable side effects of child marriage.
- Suraj Ka Satvan Ghoda (1992) While most of the movies of Shyam Benegal are known for their unapologetic and unabashed lucidity, this one, though grounded in close to life characters and realism, is known for its abstract and surrealist form of expression.
- Manthan (1976) This movie is a tribute to Verghese Kurien, the milk man of India and was financed by 5,00,000 workers of Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd.
- Charandas Chor (1975) It is a children’s film about an efficient and honest thief who takes a vow to live by the promises he gave to his guru. In the process, he encounters situations where lying becomes inevitable and his loyalty leads him to his own undoing.
