On Karwa Chouth's fasting day, Kala comes with food and water for Meera. She arrives during day time but in the continuing shot when she interacts with Meera it is already night, definitely after moon-rise.

Excellent film on the saint Mirabai

This is a Hindi language biographical film about the life the great Krishna devotee Mirabai.

The film has been created with great sensitivity and supported by very good performances. Hema Malini plays the title character and she's done really well.

Gulzar's direction stands out for bringing out Mirabai's story in such a beautiful form. The scene with Tansen is touching. As is Mirabai's proclamation at the end on the enlightened truths on the oneness of All that her bhakti had made her realise. She truly saw the world as Krishna's Leela.. And her vanishing after consuming poison a true testimony of her having merged with the divine.

Mirabai's immortal songs continue to be enjoyed today and will be eternal. The mood of these songs are well captured in the film by Gulzar.

Vinod Khanna stands out playing Mirabai's worldly husband Rana Bhojraj who is caught between being able to see his wife's divinity but unable to reconcile it with the demands is the world and society around. AK Hangal also plays the role of Mirabai's guru Sant Raidas very well.

Highly recommended watch.
