The Party - 1984 Classic by Govind Nihalani , is one of the most realistic films. An instant classic with high caliber actors, the movie has that subtle satire , sarcasm and realism. Based on a novel by Mahesh Elkunjwar "Party" , the movie has a gripping story that revolves around the characters that are part of an evening Party hosted by a Bombay high society socialite. Truth , realism and stories of characters told in subtle realistic fashion by Director and Producer Govind Nihalani.
The actors are all veterans .. Deepa Sahi , Om Puri , Amrish Puri , Rohini Hattangadi , Manohar Singh, Naseerudin Shah , Vijaya Mehta , Soni Razdan , Mohan Bhandari , Shafi Inamdar and many more ! An ensemble of cast typical of an "Art Cinema"
One more reason that makes this movie memorable is the Kishori Amonkar khyaal in Bhoop .. "Sahela Re" used as a background score (starting around 1:16:00) .. here is the complete film.
सहेला रे , आ मिल गाये..
सप्तसुरन की भेद सुनाये
जनम-जनम को संग न भुले
अब के मिले सो बिछूड ना जाये !
