A Very good narrative on Pre-Independent India where Oppression of Tax Collectors on Villagers is depicted very well.
While I do not want to summarize the Story, I would like to highlight excellent Direction by Ketan Mehta & acting by Smita Patil, Suresh Oberoi & Om Puri. The vulnerability of the villagers is exposed & very few people stand up against the Naseeruddin Shah who is the Subedar.
The astonishment of the villagers on seeing the Gramophone for the first time is also very impressive
I managed to watch it online & was thoroughly impressed. It certainly deserves a 9/10
