Sardari Begum (1996)
"Citizen Kane" of India

Maybe it is based on a real life character and thats why there arent very many silly mistakes that most Hindi movies have. Screenplay is very good and the music is absolutely great. The movie reminds one of movies like "Rashomon" by Akira Kurosawa and "Citizen Kane" by Orson Welles. The ending is superb and leaves you with a subjective feeling. This movie is a part of trilogy starting in "Mammo" and ending in "Zubeeida". However, this movie the most independent of the three. The other two have lots of characters that spill over from one movie to the other.
Shyam Benegal is truly one of India's greatest directors.
