MANDI (1983) Brilliantly directed, Mandi is an entertaining and incisive commentary on society. I can't remember where else a brothel has been treated with so much liveliness, humour and depth. It is a world in itself with colourful characters, each distinct from one another. Each of the characters are so memorable. Shabana Azmi shines as the loving, at times almost maternal and yet fiery and beautiful Madame, who runs the brothel effeciently. Her range from being seductive to maternal, from being crude and shrill to being poetic and seductive is simply marvellous.

FIRE (1996) The movie gives us insight into pure love and how a female can take decision independently getting away from customs and prejudices. It is very relevant in the present society where , it widens our views.It also show, how mysogynistic people view woman as a object for their satiafaction. It is presented in a simple and comprehensive language.
