Plot & Reviews

Ajit and Rajoo become orphans. Ajit, as the older brother takes care of his younger sister, at great personal sacrifice. When he tries to save his sister from sexual assault, death occurs. Is Ajit responsible? He emerges as Vinod from jail. In English the loose translation of the title would be "a silken thread" a compact translation would be a "silken skein". Ajit, and his little sister are separated by powers that neither he or she understand. Resham ki dori - is the thread that brings them back together. This is a story of three generations of arrogance of wealth. It is also a story of great wealth, dishonest managers, anger, arrogance in semi- feudal India. In a social context, it is a story of the death of the textile industry in Parel, Lower Parel in Bombay. It is a story of the exploitation of labour. Some scenes of labour poverty is gut wrenching. It is a vision of a person who could reverse the process of attrition in the textile industry, if only till the textile mill was set on fire for insurance. It is a great movie to watch, if you are looking out for the social context. Dialogues are predictable, mostly studio shot, editing is a bit loose but overall, a slightly differently managed film than the usual movies of the time. 1980's. Excellent storyline, and some superb acting.[1]

Awards and nominations
gollark: It has 68513 hours of power on time, 1986 power on/off cycles out of a rated 10000, and 4 "elements in grown defect list".
gollark: Ah, according to the data I got off it, my drive was manufactured in 2012. Which is something like threeish years after the server came into existence, as far as I know.
gollark: Also, there was some admittedly small-scale testing by some computer review company and SSDs could mostly go significantly beyond their endurance ratings and manage hundreds of terabytes written. But also did tend to fail suddenly and inexplicably instead of having a graceful failure.
gollark: Store the hashes of things, expect more computing power later.
gollark: I mean that most of these things (HDDs *and* SSDs) will either fail quickly or probably run for quite a while.
