Based on memoir of Marathi actor Hansa Wadkar, Smita Patil's Bhumika, a film by Shyam Benegal, is a brutal & unflinching look at the life of a female movie star in Bombay.
It’s odd to see Smriti Irani's Tulsi Virani in the second season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi cry so much, and beseech the powers that be to come to her rescue.
There is something special, almost magical, about the first film that introduces an actress to a national audience. Smita Patil’s Bhumika claims that honour.
It is a powerful movie. Smita’s best.
Also the music was fabulous: Mondar Baaje..
