Garm Hava (1973)
Directed by M. S.
Sathyu this film stars Balraj Sahni, Gita Siddharth, Fraooq Shaikh
and Dinanath Zutshi. Uncertanty faces a family of Muslim shoemakers
in India following the partition of India in 1947.
This film does a
really good job of framing the problems facing it's central
characters and showing the subtle nature of the prejudice they face.
Largely the film is shot on location and while once or twice there is
a slightly invasive use of music this film is considered one of the
first new wave films in India. Very occasionally some of the film
stock used is not of great quality but it does not have a big impact
on the film which is still a really worth while watch.
4/5
