A still from 'Banaras' |
Shwetambari (Urmila Matondkar), the daughter of rich Brahmin parents (Dimple Kapadia and Raj Babbar) and attends the local university in Banaras to study science. Soham (Ashmit Patel) is a low caste mystic, student of Babaji (Naseeruddin Shah) and music teacher at the same university. The two fall in love and a Shakespearian themed love story begins, sending waves through Banaras.
Those from both sides of the coin appear on the scene, orthodox and conservatives and threaten to take away everything from the young lovers. When Shwetambari's parents try to ignore the social restrictions for the sake and happiness of their daughter, evil forces and destiny take over.
A shattered Shwetambari has to make a choice. She decides to abandon the very city she loves the most and turns inward to look for answers and rid herself of the looming despair and hopelessness she struggles with. |
