A wonderful movie that blends elements of the fiction and the real, A wonderful movie for anyone interested in epistemological studies and literature A wonderful movie that embodies the postmodernist view of how History with a capital ''H" is open to several reexaminations and interpretations. A wonderful movie that a teacher ought to show all her learners if she wants them to develop critical thinking skills. A wonderful movie that highlights how agendas/subjective positions of knowledge-seekers can determine the course of a truth-seeking process. Rather than examining the extent to which the movie portrays the 'truth'', one must examine the extent to which the movie elicits questions regarding established truths. Of course, the map is not the territory. The best part of the movie is when the character Ragini Phule examines motives, paving the way for the audience to think "Why is this movie released at this juncture? Who will it benefit?" Mithun Da's final dialogue that includes the word "Mudda", which means a "point" is a point that the viewer ought not to miss.
