   Did Amol Palekar make Daayraa?

   • Even today, this radical idea would send filmmakers scurrying out of the door. Incredibly, Amol Palekar made Daayraa 19 years ago. The film won a National Award and made it to Time magazine’s 10 best features list — but it never got a theatrical release in India. Happily, it is now out on DVD (in the UK).
