Wissenswertes

Giddh is a 1984 Hindi film directed by T.S. Ranga starring Smita Patil, Om Puri and Nana Patekar among others. It was Giddh which brought fame for Ranga. Critics still rate performance of Om Puri in Giddh as the best in his career. While Giddh dealt with a variety of issues around prostitution, it was not a simple condemnation of the Devadasi system. Ranga approached the issue from both the sides and offered a balanced outlook. Giddh is being described as one of the best Indian films dealing with poverty and the social evils it breeds.
