Ghulami


Ghulami Slavery in Hindi is a 1985 Hindilanguage Indian feature film directed by J.P. Dutta.

Several years later, Ranjits father dies and a telegram summons Ranjit back to the village to perform the last rites. Ranjit returns, to find that nothing has changed in the village. He is also told that his father had taken loans from the landlord to pay for his medicines and healthcare, and that Ranjit now is required to repay those loans, or forfeit his lands and house, which was the collateral for the loan. Ranjit feels that this is a great injustice. His logic of reasoning is that the peasants have been tilling the land and working hard for many generations, that the landlord only owns the land and does no work, and therefore if the landlord has lent money to a peasant, the loan does not need to be paid back. A long and emotional monologue delineates this logic for the benefit of the viewers.The circumstances clearly call for class war and revolution, which Ranjit duly proceeds to ignite. He begins by storming into the landlords living room, accusing him and his ancestors of being bloodsuckers, and challenging him to take possession of the mortgaged land if he dares. The landlords daughter Smita Patil, who listens from behind a door, is deeply impressed by the scene created by her old schoolmate. Ranjit then retires to his house to perform his fathers funeral, and bonds with his other friend, the schoolmasters daughter Reena Roy. The stage is set for a love triangle and for a revolutionary vendetta. ........
