Saagar (1985 film)

Saagar is a 1985 Bollywood film directed by Ramesh Sippy. The film stars Rishi Kapoor, Kamal Hassan and Dimple Kapadia. Saagar was a comeback film for Kapadia, and contained a fleeting topless shot of her. Saagar was selected by India as the years entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1985, not nominated.

According to Asiaweek, Saagar offers a skimpy eternaltriangle plot, but it is remarkable for its polished narration and masterly technique. The romance is subdued, symbolised by waves gently caressing the shore. It further praised the performances, calling Kapadia a delight and claiming that Hassan steals the show with his subtle performance, and the direction by Sippy, who has succeeded in injecting vitality, beauty and deep insight into a gossamerthin story. India Today wrote, Like Sholay, and only like Sholay, Saagar is purely a directors film.
