Ghulami (1985)

In the last episode of the year we discuss J.P. Dutta's 1985 release, Ghulami. This was Dutta's directorial debut and remains one of his best works. The film tackles timeless issues of feudal lordship and caste system using Rajasthan as a backdrop. The film has an all star ensemble cast comprising of Dharmendra, Smita Patil, Naseeruddin Shah, Mithun Chakraborty, Reena Roy and Kulbhushan Kharbanda. Both Saahil and Saqib believe this to be Dharmendra's last truly great film. The conversation surrounding the film is easy and free flowing as the story telling passes the test of time and remains somewhat contemporary even after almost 40 years. Please tune in and let us know what you still remember of Ghulami! And those loyal listeners of the show we trust you will rewatch the film for the podcast! Koi Shak!
