趣闻

Drishti (transl. Vision) is a 1990 Indian Hindi-language drama film directed by Govind Nihalani, starring Dimple Kapadia, Shekhar Kapur and Irrfan Khan. The film depicts the marital life of an urban couple from an upper-class milieu in Mumbai and follows their trials and tribulations, infidelity, divorce, and meeting after years of separation.

Production

Drishti is one film where Govind Nihalani decided to shift from socio-political themes on to love and marriage. He explained that this film was "one from the heart". He said he decided to employ an unusual format of "no plot, all peaks" and explained the film's purpose to "redefine the relationship between man and woman, to show the passage of woman to independence as an individual".

Naseeruddin Shah was originally cast as the male lead in 1989. Nihalani cast Kapadia to play opposite him—the first time he opted for a mainstream actress—calling her a "finely tuned instrument". For Kapadia too, the film was her first tryst with art cinema, and she said she was "totally involved in Sandhya". Nihalani eventually called her "the perfect choice" for the part.

Novelist Shashi Deshpande wrote the film's script, her only screenplay. The film was said to be adapted from or inspired by Ingmar Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage (1973). Nihalani constructed the film in eleven movements, each marked by a background song.
