Kalyug (1981)

The podcast is back after a five month hiatus. We break the silence with Shyam Benegal's 1981 masterpiece Kalyug. Kalyug is a loose adaptation of ancient Indian epic Mahabharat. Film was seen as a bit ahead of its times in 1981 the year of its release as it brought together a film maker like Bengal who is seen as pioneer of parallel Hindi cinema and modern day film stars like Shashi Kapoor, Rekha and Raj Babbar. The film presented a mouth watering opportunity to both Saahil and Saqib to construct an episode for the podcast. Hope the listeners enjoy the chat as much the hosts enjoyed the film and talking about it.
