• Pinjar | DVD | (23/02/2004) from £8.08   |  Saving you £22.91 (283.54%)   |  RRP £30.99

  Pinjar tells the story of triumph of love and humanity in the era when the communal hatred was in the full swings. Puro (Urmila Matondkar) is one such victim of this hatred and Rashid (Manoj Bajpai) is the man who rapes her. Poet at heart Ramchand (Sanjay Suri) was a rich man in undivided India. He becomes a refugee with the partition of his country. Sandali Sinha plays the newly wed Lajo whose life turns around with the tragedy that is facing the nation. Priyanshu Chatterjee is Trilok who is torn between relationships within the family. Pinjar according to the director is different because it uses partition theme in its entirety and not just in the backdrop like most films. Music of the film is composed by Uttam Singh while the lyrics are written by Gulzar.

• Zubeidaa | DVD | (07/05/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £10.99

  Palaces, princesses and politics--on the face of it Indian art cinema doyen Shyam Benegal's maiden foray into Bollywood, Zubeidaa, appears to have all the ingredients of a mainstream success. However, the film is at best an uneasy blend of art-house sensibilities with the full-on spectacle that is commercial Hindi cinema. This is the latest in a series of semi-autobiographical stories by writer Khalid Mohamed that have been directed by Benegal. Here the director charts the story of Zubeidaa, a young aristocratic Muslim woman, whose promising film career is cut short. She is married off young, has a son, is divorced and finally finds love with the married ruler of a princely state in newly independent India. Told in flashback, the film's structure and some key scenes are very similar to the director's masterpiece Bhumika ("The Role", 1976). Karisma Kapoor, hitherto known for her scantily clad raunchy roles, makes her bid for artistic credentials as the eponymous heroine. But much like the film itself, her performance falls between two stools. Veteran actress Rekha who plays her paramour's first wife easily outclasses her in a graceful yet forceful performance. AR Rahman's music is haunting, dreamy and helps create a mood and ambience that the visuals fail to produce. On the DVD: Zubeidaa is presented in a pleasing anamorphic transfer with 5.1 Dolby Digital sound. While the menus are easy enough to navigate, the extras are disappointing, consisting of a faded theatrical trailer and a few television promos complete with dropouts. The subtitling, though largely accurate, makes quite a few errors. For example "cemetery" appears as "symmetry" while the word "diary" consistently appears as "dairy". --Naman Ramachandran
