Aghaat [DVD] OM Puri; Amrish Puri; Deepa Sahi; Pankaj Kapoor and Rohini Hattangadi

Aghaat (anguish) is the story of Madhav Varma (Om Puri), a trade union leader.
Rapid industrialization has seen unions proliferating and not all of them are
for the benefit of the workers. Politics, money power and muscle power are
also involved. Madhav, a former lecturer in English, heads the labour union at
Shivalik Engineering Industries, which is facing an onslaught from a rival
union led by Rustom Patel (Naseeruddin Shah). The simmering tensions boil over
at a clash, leaving five workers dead. Madhav is shaken to the core of his
being and beliefs. He is not sure about anything now, his ideology, his
commitment or his actions. Some answers have to be waited for. Some can be
found in action. But for one who is in doubt, the anguish is never
ending.Based on a story by Vijay Tendulkar, eminent Marathi play writer. Read
