in september 2003 , pelton - shepherd filed a complaint for declaratory relief and monies owed against delta . according to pelton - shepherd ' s complaint , delta had served ( pursuant to an oral agreement ) as a distributor of pelton - shepherd ' s gel packs in southern california between january 1997 and may 2003 . according to pelton - shepherd , delta had terminated the distribution agreement in may 2003 and pelton - shepherd had accepted the termination , but delta was continuing to claim the right to commissions for gel packs sold by pelton - shepherd . pelton - shepherd sought a declaration that the distribution agreement had been terminated . pelton - shepherd also alleged that delta owed pelton - shepherd in excess of $ 29 , 714 . 75 in connection with a joint venture for a packaging distribution business in northern california that had been part of the same oral agreement . pelton - shepherd sought damages in the amount of $ 29 , 714 . 75 .
18 . notwithstanding the fact that pelton - shepherd had essentially admitted in arguing delta ' s motion for relief from the waiver of objections that the documents sought in demands nos . 18 through 21 were relevant only to a single cause of action in delta ' s cross - complaint , pelton - shepherd nonetheless sought as terminating sanctions the dismissal of delta ' s cross - complaint and the striking of delta ' s answer . because we conclude the trial court prejudicially abused its discretion in ruling on two of the discovery motions that preceded pelton - shepherd ' s renewed motion for terminating sanctions , we need not decide whether the trial court abused its discretion in striking the answer when the documents at issue had nothing to do with pelton - shepherd ' s complaint .

the way of life established by the ‘shepherd kings’ of the darling downs lasted less than fifty years . throughout the second half of the nineteenth century , they were faced with changing political attitudes , as successive governments introduced land acts designed to reduce their enormous holdings in support of closer agricultural settlement .
in the aftermath of that catastrophic split second , shepherd found herself in the middle of a nightmare that went on for years , one which changed her life completely . dreams of olympic medals disappeared as she struggled during almost six months in the spinal unit of prince henry hospital to get back on her feet . cross - country skiing wasn ' t her aim anymore - walking was .

on the record before us , it is reasonably probable the trial court would have denied pelton - shepherd ' s motion to reopen discovery . of particular significance is the fact that while the case had been at issue since november 2003 , when pelton - shepherd filed its answer to delta ' s cross - complaint , pelton - shepherd waited until september 2005 , less than two months before the initial trial date , to serve its inspection demands seeking discovery of the documents relating to delta ' s manufacture and sale of gel ice products . the record before us contains no explanation for this delay .

a network known primarily for its female - oriented programming ( aka housewives ) , southern charm was

according to leslie farrell , the vice president of current production at the network .
janine shepherd is a person of incredible strength and courage . a champion cross country skier in training to represent australia at the 1988 winter olympics in calgary , her life was irrevocably altered when she was run over by a truck during a bike ride to the scenic blue mountains of new south wales and was not expected to live .

the motion was heard on september 28 , 2006 . the court ' s tentative decision was to deny the motion , but at the hearing pelton - shepherd ' s attorney convinced the court to withhold its ruling pending a deposition of delta ' s custodian of records “on the issue of production of documents . ” the court rejected pelton - shepherd ' s request that the deposition take place in stockton , but told pelton - shepherd ' s attorney that if he could “convince [ the court ] that this statement [ 19 ] was erroneous , [ the court would ] reimburse [ him ] for [ his ] expenses going to los angeles . ”
from the subsequent default judgment in favor of pelton - shepherd , delta appeals , arguing the trial court erred in granting pelton - shepherd ' s underlying motion to compel responses to the inspection demands because the motion was not heard before the discovery motion cutoff date and pelton - shepherd never moved to reopen discovery . delta also contends ( among other things ) that the trial court erred in denying delta ' s underlying motion for relief from the waiver of objections that resulted from delta ' s failure to timely respond to the inspection demands .
on december 14 , delta ' s attorney notified pelton - shepherd ' s attorney by telephone that he would be filing the ex parte application for clarification of the discovery cutoff dates on december 16 . he asked pelton - shepherd ' s attorney to stipulate to reopening discovery , and pelton - shepherd ' s attorney said he would speak to his client . 12

21 . pelton - shepherd ' s supplemental brief contains numerous references to the transcript of the pritikin deposition , but it does not specifically state that the transcript is attached to the brief . the copy of the brief included in delta ' s appellant ' s appendix does not include any attachments . the copy of the brief that makes up pelton - shepherd ' s respondent ' s appendix , on the other hand , includes as an attachment what purports to be a certified copy of the pritikin deposition transcript , which includes the deposition testimony and five deposition exhibits . in its reply brief , delta asserts that the supplemental brief “served on delta failed to include a copy of the transcript of the pritikin deposition” and “delta did not know that pelton allegedly attached the transcript as an exhibit to the supplemental [ brief ] until receipt of pelton ' s respondent ' s appendix . ”

janine shepherd ' s story is incredible - at once so horrifying and so life - affirming that palfreyman got goose bumps listening to it for the first time .
you must write this story ,
palfreyman told shepherd .
janine shepherd is on stage in a gloomy and cavernous function room at a golf - oriented resort on the gold coast . outside on the emerald greens , karrie webb is trying to win the australian ladies masters . but the real drama is inside as shepherd relives her past , particularly the past 11 years of it . she ' s retelling her story and it has reduced some of her audience to tears .
so keen was shepherd to find out whether the producers , golden square pictures , and network executives from channel 10 had agreed on karvan , she rang the production office straight after the birth of her son in august .
the issue , then , is whether the trial court erred , or abused its discretion , in granting pelton - shepherd ' s motion to compel after the discovery motion cutoff date . the thrust of delta ' s argument appears to be that the trial court was required , as a matter of law , to deny the motion to compel because it was not heard within the time allowed by law . pelton - shepherd , on the other hand , argues the trial court had discretion to the hear the motion to compel after the discovery motion cutoff date , and we should review the court ' s decision to do so for abuse of discretion . as we will explain , we agree with pelton - shepherd , but we conclude the trial court abused its discretion in hearing , and granting , the belated motion to compel .
janine ' s an elite individual ,
agrees dr adrian cohen , who first encountered shepherd in the spinal unit of sydney ' s prince henry hospital more than a decade ago . the two became friends and have stayed in touch throughout shepherd ' s fight back from the brink of death .

in its opposition to the motion ( filed november 1 ) , delta asserted that pelton - shepherd could not seek terminating sanctions based on delta ' s failure to respond to the inspection demands because pelton - shepherd had not first obtained a court order compelling delta to respond to those demands . delta also asserted that pelton - shepherd ' s request for terminating discovery sanctions was time - barred because the deadline for the hearing of discovery motions had passed . 9
14 . the court made this ruling compelling the production of documents even though pelton - shepherd had not yet filed a motion pursuant to section 2031 . 320 to compel delta to produce any documents .
here , because the trial court did not require pelton - shepherd to file a motion for leave to reopen discovery under section 2024 . 050 , there is no indication in the record that the court considered any of the matters relevant to whether discovery should have been reopened for the hearing of pelton - shepherd ' s motion to compel , including ( but not limited to ) : ( 1 ) the reasons pelton - shepherd believed it needed the documents it was seeking ; and ( 2 ) pelton - shepherd ' s diligence or lack of diligence in seeking those documents and in seeking a hearing on its motion to compel . had the trial court required the filing of a motion to reopen discovery under section 2024 . 050 , so that the parties could have offered evidence and argument on these and other relevant factors , the court would have had an informed basis on which to exercise its discretion to hear ( or not hear ) pelton - shepherd ' s motion to compel .
professor harrison said the queensland government needed to manage the shark control program better to mitigate the risk of by - catch .
while karvan could connect with her subject on an emotional level , she says she reached a stumbling block on the physical side . shepherd , was , after all , an elite athlete who represented nsw in netball and softball and was a nsw triathlon champion before turning to cross - country skiing . her nickname was
in response , pelton - shepherd asserts that delta “is subsequently estopped from relying on the october 31 , 2005 discovery motion cutoff” date because it was delta ' s fault that the motion to compel was untimely . essentially , pelton - shepherd suggests that but for delta ' s conduct , including “false assurances that the documents would be produced , ” pelton - shepherd would have been able to meet the discovery motion cutoff date .

on a steep hill in the blue mountains : that ' s where janine shepherd ' s life took a big swerve , and never resumed the same course again . she was 24 , an ace cross - country skier with olympic dreams , pedalling furiously uphill on her racing bike when a truck knocked her down and just about killed her .
originally , given the male - oriented focus of the show , whitney was envisioning amc as a potential home , thinking it could be a mad men of the modern south .

aiming to compete in the 2004 paralympics in athens , ms shepherd refuses to allow chronic back pain stop her from realising her dream .
pelton - shepherd ' s attorney did not respond to the letter from delta ' s attorney or to two subsequent telephone messages . nonetheless , on december 13 delta ' s attorney sent a fax to pelton - shepherd ' s attorney stating that he was preparing to send the documents . he invited pelton - shepherd ' s attorney to call him “to discuss taking [ the ] motion off calendar . ”
the trial court subsequently granted pelton - shepherd a default judgment in the amount of $ 32 , 913 . 76 , which included $ 35 , 760 , 51 in damages and $ 3 , 100 in costs relating to the pritikin deposition , offset by $ 5 , 946 . 75 that pelton - shepherd owed delta . delta filed a timely notice of appeal from that judgment .
shepherd smiles :
she had to run , she hates running . but she ' s so believeable . she ' s a natural athlete . she picked up all these sports within a day . if she had wanted to be a cross - country skiing champion she could have been !
in addition to seeking terminating sanctions , pelton - shepherd also sought $ 2 , 500 in monetary sanctions .
but then i realised , the people who will get the most out of it are the ones who can ' t get to the theatre .
perhaps it was a stroke of luck , good casting or testament to karvan ' s considerable acting skills but shepherd ' s first instincts proved correct .
on july 14 , 2006 , the day after serving its further responses to the inspection demands on pelton - shepherd , delta filed a “notice” with the trial court of its compliance with the june 23 order . this notice included a copy of the further responses , as well as a copy of a check for $ 2 , 500 made payable to the clerk of the court . it also included a declaration from pritikin in which he reiterated that “the majority of purchase orders requested in request no . 19 have never existed as such orders were verbal . the written purchase orders are no longer in delta ' s possession as they were routinely disposed of upon payment of the corresponding invoice . ”
we also conclude , in the unpublished portion of the opinion , that the trial court prejudicially abused its discretion in denying delta ' s motion for relief from the waiver of objections because delta ' s failure to timely respond to the inspection demands was the result of its attorney ' s excusable neglect .

27 . pelton - shepherd did this even though over a month earlier , at the november 2 hearing on pelton - shepherd ' s ex parte motion to strike , delta ' s attorney had told pelton - shepherd ' s attorney that a motion to compel was “time - barred” because “ [ a ] ll discovery motions had to be heard 15 days before the trial date . ”

in opposing pelton - shepherd ' s motion , delta argued ( among other things ) that the only demands implicated by the february 15 order were the final four demands , and it had timely complied with the order by responding without objection to those demands and producing over 1 , 306 pages of documents as they are kept in the ordinary course of business .
in the published portion of the opinion , we conclude the trial court 1 botched its responsibilities under the civil discovery act 2 and prejudicially abused its discretion in granting pelton - shepherd ' s motion to compel after the discovery motion cutoff date when pelton - shepherd had not moved to reopen discovery under code of civil procedure section 2024 . 050 . 3 as we will explain , a trial court has discretion to hear a discovery motion after the discovery motion cutoff date , but the exercise of that discretion is governed by section 2024 . 050 , which requires the court to consider various factors in determining whether to hear a discovery motion after the cutoff date . because the trial court here did not require pelton - shepherd to file a motion to reopen discovery under section 2024 . 050 before or simultaneously with , filing its motion to compel , there is no indication in the record that the court considered any of the relevant factors .

in that opposition , delta complained about pelton - shepherd ' s attorney ' s “unsworn statements and conclusions about what the deposition showed . ” delta offered its own take on pritikin ' s testimony , supported by references to excerpts from the deposition transcript that were appended to an accompanying declaration filed by delta ' s attorney . delta argued that pelton - shepherd was essentially seeking “terminating sanction [ s ] [ because delta ] missed approximately 25 invoices” that “have nothing to do with [ pelton - shepherd ] ' s complaint and are only arguably discoverable based on broad wording in [ delta ] ' s cross - complaint . ”

in subsequently opposing the motion to compel , delta argued the motion should be denied as untimely . in reply , pelton - shepherd argued that delta had waived its right to object to the timeliness of the motion both because delta had not timely responded to the inspection demands and because delta ' s attorney had “continually promise [ d ] to send the documents . ”

the homes which the first squatters constructed were modest slab huts not far removed from the canvas or iron huts of their employees . however , after legal changes in the late 1840s permitted the purchase of pastoral leases , the squatters began to assert themselves and to aspire to a more permanent and impressive presence .

following the settlement conference on november 14 , which was unsuccessful , trial was reset for march 27 , 2006 . 10 after the settlement conference , delta ' s attorney told pelton - shepherd ' s attorney that delta was providing the responsive documents to him that day for his review , but that he needed to sift through , copy , and page - number them . thereafter , however , delta ' s attorney failed to forward any documents to pelton - shepherd ' s attorney . accordingly , on december 6 , 2005 , pelton - shepherd filed a motion to compel delta to respond to the second set of demands for production of documents . the hearing on the motion was set for january 11 , 2006 . consistent with the discovery statutes , pelton - shepherd did not yet seek an order to compel delta to actually produce any documents for inspection and copying . 11
delta ' s motion was set for hearing on february 24 , 2006 . meanwhile , on february 15 , 2006 , the court entered a formal order granting pelton - shepherd ' s motion to compel delta to respond to the inspection demands . that order required delta to “fully respond without objection” within 30 days . consistent with the fact that pelton - shepherd had not sought an order compelling the production of any documents , the february 15 order did not order delta to produce any documents .

here , by the time pelton - shepherd filed its motion to compel on december 6 , 2005 , the cutoff date for hearing such a motion was more than a month past , and a new trial date had been set for late march 2006 . nevertheless , pelton - shepherd did not seek leave from the court under section 2024 . 050 to reopen discovery so that its motion to compel could be heard consistent with the foregoing statutes . 26 instead , pelton - shepherd simply ignored the close of discovery and sought an order compelling responses to its inspection demands as though there had been no discovery motion cutoff date . 27

noting that a “trial court may grant leave ․ to have a motion concerning discovery heard” after the discovery motion cutoff date “on a motion of any party , ” pelton - shepherd suggests the trial court properly exercised “its discretion to allow [ the ] motion to compel to [ be heard ] after the discovery deadline” when , at the december 16 , 2005 , hearing on delta ' s ex parte application to clarify the discovery cutoff dates , the court “failed to reopen discovery” but “granted leave to counsel to ‘work out any pending issues ' at the january 11 , 2006 hearing on [ the ] motion to compel . ” we are not persuaded . as we have noted , pelton - shepherd did not file a motion for leave to reopen discovery so that its motion to compel could be heard after the discovery motion cutoff date . it is disingenuous for pelton - shepherd to suggest the trial court properly exercised its discretion in granting a motion pelton - shepherd never made .
at the hearing on november 22 , delta asserted that pelton - shepherd ' s supplemental brief was untimely , having been served on delta less than 24 hours before the hearing . delta also asserted that it had now provided pelton - shepherd with “105 total additional invoices” not previously produced that had been referenced in the customer checks previously produced . delta claimed that “over 75 percent of those have nothing to do with gel packs . ” 22 delta argued there was “no basis ․ to enter any terminating sanctions here” and suggested that the court reserve the issue of sanctions for the trial judge . the court took the matter under submission but gave delta permission to file a posthearing opposition to the motion .

as will be apparent from the discussion that follows , the discovery in this case is a classic example of how not to conduct discovery ( on the part of the lawyers ) or to manage discovery ( on the part of the court ) . if discovery was always managed in this manner , no civil case would ever get to trial . unfortunately it is necessary to recount all the convoluted proceedings in order to explain why the trial court erred .


it stars naseeruddin shah and shabana azmi playing the characters of a visually impaired principal and a sighted teacher in a school for the blind , where they fall in love though soon their complexes tag along and they struggle to get past them to reconnect with the " touch " of love .

sparsh
( the touch ) , based on her own sceenplay , with a cast comprising naseeruddin shah , shaban azmi and om puri .
sparsh
is a limpid and touching account of the encounter between two people , each overcoming pain and pride as they come together . anirudh ( naseeuddin shah ) , the blind director of a school for the visually handicapped , works ceaselessly at his job . the joys and sorrows of the blind students do not , in the film , give it a melodramatic dimension . they are , in fact , integrated into the narrative . a young widow , kavita ( shabana azmi ) , whose interest in the school is purely charitable at the outset , soon gets more deeply involved in its activities . she falls in love with anirudh and they get engaged . however , anirudh ' s obsession with being completely self - reliant and his suspicion that kavita may be acting more out of sympathy than love eventually leads to the engagement being called off . finally , a good friend of the couple intervens and helps them to realise their follies and reunite .

basu bhattacharya produced the film but all was not well between the producer and the director .
all that i can say is that i had to do much more production work than i had bargained for and that really cut into my work ,
said paranjpe ,
films about relationships between blind people and sighted people - or indeed between any
handicapped
people and
normal
people - always run the risk of waxing trite and preachy , and sparsh does not fully avoid this hazard . some of its uncomfortable moments feel canned and facile , as when kavita , at one of her early meetings with anirudh , refers to his students as
those poor children ;
anirudh bristles , telling kavita to remove the word
poor
from her vocabulary , as his children do not need her pity .
much against her will , she was deputed to make a film on the blind relief association , delhi .
i didn ' t want to go , but now i ' m glad i went - an entire metamorphosis had taken place inside me ,

the 1980 indian hindi feature film directed by sai paranjpye stars naseeruddin shah and shabana azmi playing the characters of a visually impaired principal and a sighted teacher in a school for the blind , where they fall in love though soon their complexes tag along and they struggle to get past them to reconnect with the touch of love .

we felt that we deserved the award - we ' d seen the other films and somehow we felt that the other directors didn ' t know what they wanted to say ,
said the patwardhans . their unconventional approach must have rubbed off on the jury too , for this is the first time a film , totally
, starring kriti sanon , rajkummar rao and ayushmann khurrana . from his tweet on monday , we know that big b loved the movie and reviewed it as
a delightful film
with
competent and excellent performances .
but outside social media , big b has singled out rajkummar to be worthy of a handwritten note and flowers . the
accordingly , sparsh is at its best when it focuses tightly on kavita and anirudh as individuals , rather than as iconic representatives of
the blind
and
the sighted
. kavita and anirudh are fragile people . anirudh is proud , and that pride makes it hard for him to let kavita care for him . kavita , for her part , is eager for a way out of her loneliness but not quite ready to move beyond her husband ' s death . they are both navigating strong emotions , but they are also both uncertain and very reserved by nature ; that , together with shabana and naseeruddin ' s understated performance styles , yield a very muted tone , with few outbursts of emotion . indeed , kavita in particular is so out of touch with her feelings that it takes manju ' s psychoanalytic interference to resolve the major conflict of the film . the resolution is unsatisfying , with a kind of a deus ex machina feel as manju swoops in to explain to anirudh everything that is going on in kavita ' s head .
sparsh is a sensational story of anirudh parmar ( naseeruddin shah ) who is blind . yet his impairment does not let him down . he starts a school for the blind as a principal . during his days he gets in touch with a social worker , kavita . kavita is attracted to him , and he slowly also gets attracted to her . when marriage is proposed , both agree to marry each other . then anirudh starts having doubts whether this marriage is going to succeed . how will kavita ensure anirudh that their married life would be successful ? sign up for free and get daily updates on new videos , exclusive web shows , contests & much more urltoken send us your feedback and suggestions at : connect @ urltoken
despite these minor weaknesses sparsh is nevertheless quietly sweet and engaging ; the characters are warm , sympathetic , likeable . kavita is a wounded bird ; even her smiles are a little sad . this may be what makes the young shabana and naseeruddin work so well as a screen couple , they both carry in their faces a kind of droopy , puppy - dog sadness . their romance is delicious , sweet and even passionate at moments . and there are some truly beautiful scenes . in one , kavita shops for a new sari , closing her eyes and using her fingertips to choose one that anirudh will like . in another , anirudh makes kavita blush , describing for her why he finds her beautiful - her fragrance , the sound of her voice , the softness of her touch .
kay kay is one of the best actors that bollywood has . it is always a pleasure to work with him . the short film format is like t - 20 cricket , wherein you have to tell the entire story in a very short span of time . but just like t - 20 cricket , short films are also very exciting to make ,
bhatt said in a statement .

. celebrities like karan johar , varun dhawan , sushant singh rajput and arjun kapoor also had everything good to say about the film which released earlier this month .
bareilly ki barfi is warm , funny and delightful . the performances are superb . dialogues have many laugh out loud crackling moments ,
karan had tweeted while kriti ' s co - star sushant wrote :
kriti sanon is brilliant and it ' s her best performance .
despite the fact that her play , the little tea shop had won the asian broadcasting union ( abu ) award in teheran , she was not making any progress .
i felt stifled and claustrophobic as a producer and i decided to quit and join the children ' s film society ( cfs ) ,
- a job she threw up two years later . ' people advised me against resigning from the cfs and i could kick myself for having listened to them ,
she said .
children from a sos children’s village in faridabad , an institution that raises orphaned and destitute children in family units , are up in a mountaineering camp in manali . the kids are despondent initially as they are unable to perform the physical challenges put up by trainers . later they are overjoyed at overcoming irrational fears and discovering endurance within themselves . in a film presented as children’s narratives with their voiceovers , the kids develop a close bond with the instructors that seemed heartless brutes in the beginning of the camp .
since noé (
enter the void ,
irreversible
) wants to steep viewers in murphy ' s confused emotions , the experience of watching
love
can sometimes be more frustrating than thinking about the meaning of
love
while you watch the film . in fact ,
love
probably only works if you see it as a paradoxically over - determined work of and about sensuality . noé uses 3 - d photography but also never stops reminding viewers that they are outside of the frame , as he directly acknowledges in one scene where an erect penis thrusts directly at the camera before ejaculating cgi semen . you can ' t watch this movie and ever really forget that you ' re watching a movie , as is reinforced by the film ' s elliptically - structured plot , droning soundtrack and periodic mid - scene black - out cuts . that ' s because murphy is , like some of noé ' s previous blank slate heroes , a character who remembers himself at his most frustratingly vacant .
all the actors ( ketaki mategaonkar , gauri bapat , medha manjrekar , savita malpekar , sakharam kulkarni , abhijit kelkar and vaibhav mangle ) do full justice to their characters and deliver memorable performances . but as a man taking on the system and fighting against all , including his own self , sachin khedekar towers above all . looking at him , you feel the strength of his character and the weight of his fate . it is a brilliant performance in an exceptional film that is every bit worthy of all possible awards !
produced by basu bhattacharya , the film went on to win three national awards including that of best actor for naseer . interestingly , sanjeev kumar was the original choice of sai and it is only when could not do it that she approached naseer . thirty five years later one could not imagine any other actor in the shoes of aniruddh parmar . few years later , sanjeev kumar did go on to play a blind protagonist in “qatl” who was as “kaabil” as hrithik roshan is trying to be this republic day . that’s for another day .
girish joshi’s screenplay ( developed from usha datar’s short story ) creates a complex multi - layered old world , full of contrasts and contradictions . the locations , costumes , language , music and cinematography – all contribute to creating a perfect period - feel . it is a film that works on both , personal as well as social levels . on a personal level , we get caught up in an emotional storm brewing between various characters and on a social level , we are shaken out of slumber by the stark portrayal of some inhuman religious rituals , which once made widowed life a living hell .
naseer and om puri often performed together like singing a duet . different notes but always working for a harmonious whole . here in a supporting role , om manages to leave an impact , despite naseer’s immersive performance , because he creates another blind character which is as real and distinct as aniruddh . add to it yet another impressive turn by shabana azmi and we have a film that continues to feel fresh . she has the amazing ability to make the mundane dramatic and the dramatic believable . cinematographer virendra saini creates a contemplative atmosphere right from the opening shot when aniruddh is following kavita’s voice on a hazy delhi morning .
m . s . sathyu , an internationally renowned filmmaker and theatre director , moved to bombay from mysore in 1952 . he did a variety of jobs including animation , documentary , tv films , tv serials , designing and directing plays and even wrote a script for a ballet before making ‘garm hava’ in 1974 , that became one of the best films on the partition and won him a golden palm nomination at the cannes film festival including several awards in india . he has since made films like ‘bara’ and ‘kanneshwara rama’ while also directing many successful plays . ‘kala parvat’ is an indo - russian joint collaboration with alexander zagurdi .
but what ' s it like to actually watch
love
? this is a movie where non - professional actors and unsimulated sex scenes constantly encourage viewers to form a bond of alienation , instead of a bond of sympathy , with murphy . that may sound pretentious , but noé knows exactly the type of effect he wants to achieve , and he mostly gets it . his biggest gamble is the use of first - time actors to elicit complex emotions . but he builds a complex relationship between murphy and his viewers throughout the movie , one that speaks louder than the unmoving , shrill line - readings from all three of the film ' s principle characters .
since the time he channelized his energy full time into marathi cinema , mahesh manjrekar has contributed a lot to the marathi cinema’s resurgence . his productions ( mee shivaji raje bhosle boltoy , lalbaug - parel , shikshanachya aaicha gho and fakt ladh mhan ) have successfully touched the audience - chord with contemporary , socially relevant and thought - provoking themes . often he has erred on being too populist in his presentation with a definite eye on the box - office . but now that he has established his production house as the commercial powerhouse , he goes for the jugular and shows that he also has it in him to create a perfectly artistic period - film like kaaksprash .
the film ' s sex scenes are similarly mannered , mournful and distractingly graphic . but they ' re not just endurance tests , or frustrating slogs either . noé wants you to see sex as a cocoon , so he genuinely tries to show you what attracts his young characters to each other . his earnest objectification of actors ' bodies is , in that sense , often compelling . we look at bodies in motion , and see them as body parts first , and then people trying to get lost in each other , to give each other pleasure , and to remain lost in sensations that will always remain mysterious to anyone who isn ' t experiencing them first - hand .
love
may not always be enjoyable , but it leaves an abiding mark .
in
love ,
murphy essentially relives a past life . he is not however in control of his emotions , so his memories are fragmented , and out of order . he recalls electra because her mother calls him , giving him a sentimental oasis to cling to in order to escape his life with omi . still , in flashbacks , we see how murphy ' s relationship with omi ironically started because of electra , and how electra and murphy ' s relationship was always a co - dependent one . he , a film student with posters of
saló ,
and
story of o
hanging ostentatiously on his bedroom wall , jealously obsesses over her . but eventually she , an aspiring painter , reveals that she ' s just as concerned with being protected . they form an unhealthy relationship that expresses itself through violent outbursts , and copious sex scenes that range from genuinely sexy to mechanically frantic . so while electra accuses murphy of being a bright young man who doesn ' t know what love is , she ' s just as impulsive .

kavita ( shabana azmi ) is a depressed widow ; though her close friend manju ( sudha chopra ) urges her to step back into life and society , kavita spends her days at home , tending to a meticulous bonsai garden ( a metaphor for her stultifying confinement ) and singing sad songs to an audience of herself alone . when she accidentally meets anirudh ( naseeruddin shah ) , a bristly but charismatic blind man who runs a nearby school for blind children , kavita is moved to offer her time to the school , and begins reading to the boys and teaching them music and crafts . kavita is touched by the children , and begins to welcome warmth and happiness back into her life . she is also touched by anirudh ; a tender romance blossoms between them , and they become engaged to marry . the romance sours , though , when anirudh begins to fear that kavita is marrying him not for love , but only in search of a way to martyr herself , sacrificing her youth and independence to the care of a hapless handicapped man .

as “kaabil” brings visually impaired protagonists back in focus , it is time to revisit sai paranjpye’s timeless gem that continues to be a benchmark for films that address the normal / abnormal binary . breaking the stereotypes created by cinema and society where blind people are often presented as objects of pity , sai creates an inclusive space where the blind protagonist wears his self esteem on his sleeve and suffers from the same emotional upheavals as any sighted person is . based on the real life story of ajay mittal , sai demolishes the lachar - bechara image that hindi cinema wove around blind characters and in naseeruddin shah she has a malleable actor to realise her vision .
the narrative holds a soothing love story of a sighted woman and a blind man . it seems implausible but as sai sensitively unravels the layers one can figure that each one of us have handicaps . a young widow disabled by the society , kavita is struggling with her emotional vacuum when she comes across aniruddh parmar , the principal of a school for the blind . a beautiful relationship evolves which is more tactile than visual and the fragrance permeates through the celluloid . kavita buys saris that aniruddh could feel . a self made man , aniruddh allows kavita in his dark universe . however , soon self doubt creeps into the relationship as aniruddh fears dependence on kavita . aniruddh has been more than compensated by nature in other senses , including ego . is kavita trying to be a gandhari ? is she trying to justify her second love as a duty ? it leads to an intense curdling of emotions in the estuary between right and wrong .
there is a bigger picture as well which can be easily juxtaposed to the majority / minority question . in the outside word , blind people might be struggling to find feet but in the blind school it is the sighted who are yearning to find acceptance . sai presents it through the strand of pappu , the sighted boy among blind students . he longs for the attention of his teacher but her entire focus is on blind students . when pappu fights with a blind student , he closes his eyes to make it a fair fight but still fails to get the attention . similarly , kavita does everything to be part of aniruddh’s universe but he considers it as a ritual to get over her past or as kavita’s friend ( sudha chopra ) says he remains blind to her love .
naseer has often rated it as his most fulfilling performance . the shift in eyeballs , the arc that he creates with the stick , the way he holds the cup and the ungainly body posture , naseer almost becomes the character . in his autobiography , “and then one day” , naseer admits the thought of acting as a sightless person with children who were actually sightless took him as close to butterflies in the stomach as he had ever been . the key to play a blind character , he says , is that they directed their ears and not their eyes at the point they were addressing , and that caused their sometimes ungainly bodily posture , which , having absolutely no self consciousness , they were oblivious to . he imbibed it by following mittal for ten days . his education in aligarh muslim university also helped as it had one of the best schools for the blind in the country . he had observed a couple of blind classmates during college days . he tried different things to get the movement of a blind character but ultimately went by his imagination . “i had always been able to shut out all aural stimuli whenever i felt like it , but shutting off all visual stimuli proved equally easy . ”

anirudh parmar is blind , but he does not let this impairment bind him down . he runs a school for the blind as a principal . he meets with social worker , kavita . kavita is attracted to him , and he slowly also gets attracted to her . when marriage is proposed , both agree to marry each other . then anirudh starts having doubts whether this marriage is going to succeed , as he feels he is being patronized , and pittied .
this movie deals with people with handicaps  one is bitter due to blindness and the other is depressed due to heart break . society tends to glorify blindness as a bigger handicap than heartbreak . the movie poignantly shows that both are debilitating and need a lot of work to overcome . kavita and anirudh are fortunate in discovering each other . their individual handicaps first help them in working together , then bonding together and then tears them apart . a well - wisher has to step in ultimately to bridge the gap . there are some endearing scenes with the kids and the dialog is very engaging . the sequence where anirudh describes his perception of kavita ' s beauty deserves special mention for its poetry . both naseer and shabana excel in their minimalist style .
