8/10
An intellectual, sensitive portrayal of a mature topic
9 September 2023
This is a Hindi language film starring Rekha and Om Puri. The film is a very mature portrayal of adultery.

The film is how a middle class homemaker gets into the world of becoming a call-girl. While the theme might seem erotic, and there are elements of it in the movie, the handling is very sensitive. The film delves into the mind of the characters, how they react and respond to the situation. All characters sketched are mature and there is no melodrama at play.

Yet, the film's premise is not well set. It is not clear why really the lady chose to get dragged in, even if tricked the first time into a sexual encounter. Apart from that gap, the way she evolves and eventually comes out of it, even by implicitly confessing to her husband, forms the rest of the film.

A good watch for mature audiences.
