Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released 25 years after Partition, the film uses one family's fracture to examine Bengal's unresolved trauma around identity and belonging.
This rare collaboration between Uttam Kumar and Soumitra Chatterjee — Bengal's two megastars — was their only film as brothers, and they reportedly refused to speak off-set to maintain on-screen tension.
