  • Govind Nihalani's 'Hazaar Chaurasi Ki
    Reclaiming Her /histories), reclaiming Lives: Govind Nihalani’s ‘Hazaar Chaurasi ki Ma’ and Mahashweta Devi’s Mother of 1084. Baruah Baishali Assistant Professor. Dept. of English Satyawati College (D) University of Delhi India Mahashweta Devi’s story is about the reawakening of a mother proselytized by the death of her son against the backdrop of the systematic “annihilation” of the Naxalites in the 1970’s Bengal. The uncanny death forces the apolitical mother to embark on a quest for the discovery of her ‘real’ son which eventually leads to her own self-discovery. The discovery entails the knowledge of certain truths or half truths about the particular socio-political milieu in which the characters are located. Sujata conditioned to play the submissive, unquestioning wife and mother for the major part of her life gains a new consciousness about her own reality (as a woman) and her immediate context (the patriarchal / feudal order). She therefore pledges to refashion herself by assimilating her son’s political beliefs of ushering in a new egalitarian world without centre or margin. In Govind Nihalani’s own words his film is “a tribute to that dream”. The symbiotic relation of the mother and the son which is shown to be more than just blood relation is done full justice by Nihalani. Jaya Bacchan plays to the hilt the traumatized mother (Sujata) who finds herself locked within her “solitary cell” and constantly assailed by the guilt of not knowing her son adequately when alive. The information about her son (Brati) that surfaces by her association with one Somu’s mother (Seema Biswas) and Nandini (played by Nandita Das) help her discover Brati his idealism, and shed her complacency about the arrangements of the hierarchised structure that underline every interpersonal (man- woman) and social (class/caste) relationship.

  • Interview with Govind Nihalani Rukmavati Ki Haveli:: Creating
    REVISTA CIENTÍFICA DE CINE Y FOTOGRAFÍA E-ISSN 2172-0150 Nº 12 (2016) INTERVIEW WITH GOVIND NIHALANI RUKMAVATI KI HAVELI: CREATING EMOTIONAL LANDSCAPES Amparo Rodrigo Mateu University of Mumbai, India [email protected] 25 years after filming Rukmavati Ki Haveli (1991), the Hindi movie adaptation of Lorca's play La casa de Bernarda Alba (Federico García Lorca, 1936), Mumbai-based Indian filmmaker and former cameraman Govind Nihalani (Karachi, 1940) vividly remembers the effect it had on him and relates how he adapted the play from Lorca's Spanish Andalusia to a film with an Indian background. 1 -Why did you choose Lorca and, among all his works, what attracted you to La casa de Bernarda Alba? I always liked theater and I was very close to a well-known Hindi theatre director. His name was Satyadev Dubey. He used to do English plays and he spoke to me a lot about some plays from Europe. Among them, he spoke about Lorca and this particular play. I had not read it but he described it as a strong play, so I became curious. I bought an English translation and I read it. I liked FOTOCINEMA, nº 13 (2016), E-ISSN: 2172-0150 321 the play very much because of its theme: authoritarianism and the rebellion against authoritarianism. I read it, I liked it and, then, I forgot about it. One day, I went to Jaisalmer, in Rajasthan. As I was going up the fort, I saw a group of Rajasthani women walking down. All of them -they must have been a particular tribe- were dressed in brown petticoats, brown skirts and black duppatas1 and chadars2, and wearing old silver jewelery.
