Mirch Masala -- The awesome Smita Patil

Mirch Masala -- The awesome Smita Patil

There is only one movie like this.. Mirch Masala. I have watched it so many times but every time it teaches me something new...the strength of one lone woman who stands against everything she has...her village, her family,, her friends. The conviction of Kali is inspiring. 


She stands against the power without much word. Without too much drama..without complains of modern generations , never fretted, never any over dose of word . No melodrama .Just courage, Plain courage.

Mirch Masala


These are the attire of desert women of India.. chaniya Choli and lehenge for the ordinary women and sarees for the landladies and people of stature. The backless choli add to ther feminine confidence. 

There is so much red and crimson maybe to substitute the parched and arid desert of Rajasthan. The prints, mirrors, handiwork mellows the brunt of the weather.
