What Bhumika Is About
A successful film star, in a world that both exalts and patronises her, begins to come apart under the weight of the roles piled on her. Thrown between the studio and her private life, she never gets an answer to the question of who she is. Shyam Benegal’s film is not invention: it draws on the memoirs of Hansa Wadkar, a well-known actress of the Marathi stage and screen in the forties who lived an unconventional and turbulent life, and whose book appeared in 1970. Smita Patil won the best actress award for it, and the performance is now generally regarded as the finest of her career.
