One of Shyam Benegal's best films - one in which he has experimented a lot, and successfully so. A narrator tells of another narrator who tells stories of love, with different shades, with a clear distinction between the way male and female protagonists deal with love. The stories are intertwined, with the narrator also getting involved - sometimes as an observer, sometimes as a protagonist himself. The same events get depicted from different perspectives in different stories. A superb sense of environment and mood, unlike that found in most Indian films.
