Smita patil

Smita Patil: The smoldering, raging ball of fire destined to be doused young Smita Patil was first seen in a FTII diploma film directed by Arun Khopkar called Teevra Madhyam. There was a long shot in which she was playing the tanpura. She was born for the camera. It lingered over her face and she held it captive without the slightest effort. Mirch Masala is regarded as her best by her fans. Mirch Masala (1987) is projected as a ‘woman as prey’ who, when under attack, had no choice but to pray. Until Smita Patil in this film, who refuses to give in to the powerful subedar’s lurid leering advances. The metaphor of the chili factory as the fortress for female protection showcased Patil’s powerful performance. Mirch Masala But I think she was more elemental and authentic in Shyam Benegal’s Bhumika. A powerful bio-pic on the 1940s’ Marathi actress Hansa Wadkar. Benegal sees her life through the various men who tried to own and smother her spirit. Smita Patil plays the protagonist with a fluent mix of dilemma and sensuality.

A beacon for women browbeaten and beleaguered in film after film, even in commercial jaunts, her characters vocalised their torment. Off-screen too she was a crusader for women empowerment. Yet she left her admirers stumped with her personal trajectory. Someone who spelt freedom became a captive of choices. And when she just about gave birth to a ‘dream’ she’d nurtured forever, the curtains prematurely fell. Unlived desires, unrealised plans, unspoken lament… Smita Close friend and filmmaker Smita and you shared uncanny similarities... We shared a strange soul connection, like soulmates, though I was nine years older than her. Funnily enough, there were many common factors in our backgrounds. We were both born on Laxmi Road, Pune. We shared the same surname Patil and the same birthday – October 17. Numerically, that adds to numeral 8 – a number that mystically suggests extreme highs and lows, which we both went through in life. Also, the occurrence of the numbers 8 and 4 in our lives consistently. She left us on the 13 th of December, which again adds up to 4. We were both dusky.
