Aarohan (1982), directed by Shyam Benegal, is a powerful portrayal of the exploitative zamindari system, delivered with unflinching honesty. Starring Victor Banerjee and Om Puri as the lead characters, with Dipti Bhatt as Hari's wife, the film is set against the backdrop of the turbulent 1960s. It tells the poignant story of a poor farmer's suffering under a cruel and manipulative landlord, while also exploring the rising tide of Naxalism during that period. Written by Shama Zaidi and with cinematography by Govind Nihalani, Arohan vividly critiques the deep inequities of the zamindari system and the human toll of social injustice. As one of the key figures in the Parallel Cinema movement, Shyam Benegal was instrumental in shaping the New India Cinema.

आरोहण (1982) के निर्देशक श्याम बेनेगल थे। फ़िल्म का कथानक सामंती शोषण को बिना किसी लाग-लपेट के अपनी पूरी क्रूरता के साथ प्रस्तुत करता है। फ़िल्म में मुख्य भूमिकाएँ विक्टर बनर्जी, ओम पुरी और दीप्ति भट्ट ने निभाई हैं। फ़िल्म की कहानी 1960 के उथल-पुथल से भरे दशक में स्थित है। कहानी के केंद्र में एक गरीब किसान है जो क्रूर और चालाक ज़मींदार के अत्याचार तले पिसा जा रहा है। फ़िल्म की कहानी उस दौर में हुए नक्सलवाद के उभार को भी चित्रित करती है। शमा ज़ैदी की लिखी और गोविंद निहलानी के छायांकन से रची आरोहण भारत की ज़मींदारी प्रथा के भीतर मौजूद गहरी असमानताओं को अपना विषय बनाती है। सामाजिक गैर-बराबरी और अन्याय किस तरह इंसानी जीवन की बलि माँगते हैं, फ़िल्म का यथार्थ अपनी पूरी सच्चाई के साथ दिखाने में हिचकता नहीं। श्याम बाबू समांतर सिनेमा आन्दोलन के सबसे प्रमुख हस्ताक्षर रहे और भारत में नए उभरते इस सिनेमा को आकार देने में उनकी ख़ास भूमिका रही। अपने शानदार सिनेमाई करियर में उन्हें 18 राष्ट्रीय फ़िल्म पुरस्कार, एक फ़िल्मफ़ेयर पुरस्कार और एक नंदी पुरस्कार से सम्मानित किया गया। साल 2005 में उन्हें भारत के सर्वोच्च सिनेमा सम्मान 'दादासाहेब फाल्के पुरस्कार' से सम्मानित किया गया। भारतीय सिनेमा में योगदान के लिए उन्हें इससे पहले सन् 1976 में पद्म श्री और...
