      Excellent !!!
      Honorable Great Master Director Mr. Shyam Benegal has created a Masterpiece.

      All the actors have done Excellent Job.

      I want say something specially for His Royal Highness Great Shashi Kapoor. This is the only movie where he is himself. His clothes, His Life Style, Character, Charm, Beauty is unmatched.

      I wish every man on the surface of this planet look at least like him.

      Shashi is just excellent.

      Thank you very much for your kind considerations.
