Sadgati (Deliverance, 1981) is a Hindi-language television film directed by the legendary Satyajit Ray, adapted from the eponymous short story by the acclaimed Hindi writer Munshi Premchand. Ray described the film, which centres on the plight of a poor Dalit, as "a deeply angry film [...] not the anger of an exploding bomb but of a bow stretched taut and quivering." Featuring powerful performances by Om Puri as Dukhi, Smita Patil as Jhuria, Mohan Agashe as the Priest, Gita Siddharth as the Priest's wife, Bhaiyalal Hedao as the Gond, and Richa Mishra as Dhania, Sadgati also holds the distinction of being Doordarshan's first colour telecast. Though more than four decades have passed since its release, the film's message remains strikingly relevant. Sadgati is an unflinching critique of India's oppressive caste system, exposing the brutal realities of untouchability and systemic...

सद्गति (1981) हिन्दी भाषा में बनी टेलीविज़न के लिए निर्मित फ़िल्म थी जिसका निर्देशन महान फिल्मकार सत्यजित राय ने किया था। यह फ़िल्म महान हिन्दी लेखक प्रेमचंद की इसी नाम से लिखी कहानी पर आधारित है। जाति आधारित शोषण की चक्की में पिस रहे दलित किरदार की मर्मांतक पीड़ा पर आधारित इस फ़िल्म के बारे में खुद राय ने कहा था कि यह “एक क्रोध से भरी फ़िल्म है ... पर यह बम की तरह विस्फ़ोटक क्रोध नहीं, बल्कि धनुष-बाण की तनी हुई प्रत्यंचा की तरह काँपता इंसानी क्रोध है।” फ़िल्म दुखी की भूमिका में ओम पुरी, दुखी की पत्नी झुरिया की भूमिका में स्मिता पाटिल, गाँव के पंडित के किरदार में मोहन आगाशे, उनकी पत्नी के किरदार में गीता सिद्धार्थ, गोंड की भूमिका में भैयालाल हेडाओ और धनिया की भूमिका में ऋचा मिश्रा जैसे उम्दा कलाकारों के सशक्त अभिनय से सजी है। यह फ़िल्म सद्गति दूरदर्शन के इतिहास में निर्मित और दिखाई जानेवाली पहली रंगीन फ़िल्म होने का गौरव भी रखती है। फ़िल्म की रिलीज़ के चार दशक से अधिक समय बीत जाने के बाद भी इस फ़िल्म का संदेश उतना ही प्रासंगिक बना हुआ है। सद्गति भारत की दमनकारी जाति व्यवस्था की एक निडर आलोचना है। यह एक ऐसी फ़िल्म है जो अस्पृश्यता के दंश और सामाजिक अन्याय की...

Sadgati is a Hindi language film made primarily for television. The film covers a day in the life of Dukhi, a chamar or tanner by caste and grass cutter by profession, an untouchable. The narrative proceeds to provide a profoundly disturbing view in the inhumanity innate to the essential inequality of the Hindu caste system. Captured in the first still is Smita Patil as Dukhi's wife, Jhuria.

                          Scene Description A man belonging to the Gond tribe, appears out of nowhere and speaks the voice of simple human reason. Observing Dukhi's failure to make an impression on the wood, he asks him if he has ever chopped wood before. Dukhi replies in the negative; he has cut only grass. This prompts the next rational question from the Gond, "Then why are you cutting wood?" After all, it is the logic of caste that grass-cutters cut grass and woodcutters cut wood. (8/24)

                          Scene Description A man belonging to the Gond tribe, appears out of nowhere and speaks the voice of simple human reason. Observing Dukhi's failure to make an impression on the wood, he asks him if he has ever chopped wood before. Dukhi replies in the negative; he has cut only grass. This prompts the next rational question from the Gond, "Then why are you cutting wood?" After all, it is the logic of caste that grass-cutters cut grass and woodcutters cut wood. (8/24)

                          Scene Description A man belonging to the Gond tribe, appears out of nowhere and speaks the voice of simple human reason. Observing Dukhi's failure to make an impression on the wood, he asks him if he has ever chopped wood before. Dukhi replies in the negative; he has cut only grass. This prompts the next rational question from the Gond, "Then why are you cutting wood?" After all, it is the logic of caste that grass-cutters cut grass and woodcutters cut wood. (8/24)
