1985. Shyam Benegal. A movie set before the 1961 takeover of Goa from the Portuguese by the Indian Union. Again a riches of actors - Naseer, Leela Naidu, Neena Gupta, Anita Kanwar, Jayant Kripalani - a backdrop of the excesses of the Portuguese on the locals, and yet, nothing about the story or the characters moved me or entertained me. In fact, it got rather boring after some time.
