Veteran director Shyam Benegal, also one of the most political filmmakers in the country, says making a film on the country`s socio-political history requires unwavering sense of objectivity.
From Ankur (1974), Nishant (1975), Bhumika (1977), Mandi (1983) to Sardari Begum (1996), Zubeidaa (2001) and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero (2005), Benegal`s five-decade long filmography stands as an observer as well as a challenger to the Indian society and issues plaguing it.
