The themes of pain, anger, loss and revenge are deeply embedded in this film based on the 'rebels' of Chambal.
What would it mean for Lakhna to "repay the debt" of unknowingly taking the lives of children in cold blood? What would it take for Indumati to save the life of a dying girl? This intense drama is only flawed by its slow pace, which can be distracting at times. Other than that, this movie has it all : engaging characters, outstanding performances, stellar cinematography and great direction.
Yet unfortunately, this near-masterpiece was largely unnoticed by the Indian audience. Hopefully, one day this movie can reach the cult status it definitely deserves..
