But Shwetambri is attracted to an orphan, Soham, of a lower caste who lives with a woman called Dadi who is a sweeper by profession. Nevertheless, Shwetambri continues to meet with Soham on the pretext of learning music, and introduces him to her parents, who instantly disapprove of him.

User reviews 14 Review. Top review. Only 8 because of choppy editing at places. But otherwise what a wonderful film. Obviously a low budget film with low production values but these were not required in the film.
Purely dependent of performances and the beauty of Hindu or Indian spiritualism, a totally spellbinding film. Naseer ji were exceptionally good, although for him it was probably and easy task as he is so talented. Urmilla again proved that she is not just all beauty.
She can act for sure. She proved this in Pinjar for me and again in this film. Even Ashmit acted very well. The music was just heavenly. I found myself, at many times, with tears in my eyes. Mainly because of the spiritualist inner feelings that i was having. Indian cinema need more such films.
This film was totally and totally Indian in ever aspect. The only bad thing in the movie was the choppy editing at places but I am sure they had their reasons for it. On the whole, a wonderful concept of a film!! Loved it! Details Edit. Release date April 7, India. Official site [n]. Ek Dhun Banaras Kee.
