Notes
Film is in Kannada and Urdu with English subtitles. 118 mins. Screening was followed by a panel discussion. "A gold medallist from FTII, Pune, India, Girish Kasaravalli emerged on the national and international film scene in 1977 with “Ghatashraddha”. His subsequent films, though few, have all won national awards and the admiration of discerning viewers. Based on a short story, ‘Karinagaragalu’ by well-known writer Banu Mushtaq, the film tells the story of Hasina, a lively young woman with three daughters and a ‘loving’ husband, who is abused and abandoned when the fourth child on the way also turns out to be a daughter. Hasina rebels, she fights, she seeks justice..." -Kabir Cultural Centre "Girish Kasaravalli was born on 3 December 1950 in Kesalur, Karnataka, India. He is a director and writer, known for Gulabi Talkies (2008), Naayi Neralu (2006) and Kanasembo kudureyaneri (2010). He was previously married to Vaishali Kasaravalli." -Ihttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm0440424/. *Date listed refers to date of performance.
