SATIRICAL COMEDY from The Great Benegal.

Mandi narrates the story of a brothel, situated in the heart of a city, an area that some politicians want for its prime locality. It is a satirical comedy on politics and prostitution.

There is no doubt that it's one of the most entertaining films from The Great Shyam Benegal. I've never seen so many great actors in a single film before and everyone stood out beautifully. This film is another example of Shabana Azmi's utter brilliance. I think it's A Must Watch film with pure entertainment.

Available on Amazon Prime Video & JioCinema.
