Zubeidaa - A Shyam Benegal Film / MFA
Zubeidaa by Shyam Benegal (2001, 153 min.) An intelligent and lyrically constructed love story starring top Hindi film star Karisma Kapoor, Zubeidaa is a story of a young man Riyaz's (Rajit Kapur) quest to recover the memory of his mother Zubeidaa (Karisma Kapoor), a mother he never knew. Troubled by the scant knowledge he has of his mother, Riyaz sets about trying to piece together her life from the memories of those who knew her. Extremely talented and beautiful, Zubeidaa is the only daughter of Suleman Seth (Amrish Puri), a film producer in Mumbai. Yet Zubeidaa's dreams and aspirations are never on her father's priority list and her happiness more often than not falls victim to her father's completely unjustified domination over her life. Zubeidaa is a passionate love story of a vivacious, impulsive and daring young woman who defies all odds and conventions in order to live life on her own terms. Hindi with English Subtitles.
