A must watch. Shocking depiction of India at that time. There are moments which will hit you in your heart and let you think "really, some part of our society was like that?" It depicts the horrors of caste system, oppressions on women and many more dark sides behind the story of a gang of dacoits, who had much more values and respect for women. The main story is told very nicely behind the fore ground story of the dacoits. The cinematography is good. The movie is a bit slow, but it is perfect pace to recover from the shocks you get. A great cast, most of them have theatre background, therefore acting is joyful to watch. I recommend this if you love an offbeat movie.
