त्रिकाल (1985) के लेखक और निर्देशक श्याम बेनेगल थे और इसका निर्माण फ्रेनी एम. वारियावा ने किया था। यह फ़िल्म गोवा में पुर्तगाली शासन के आखिरी दिनों की पृष्ठभूमि पर आधारित है। साथ ही यह फ़िल्म अभिनेत्री लीला नायडू के सोलह वर्षों के लंबे अंतराल के बाद सिनेमा के पर्दे पर वापसी के चलते भी ख़ास मानी जाती है। इस फ़िल्म में एक विशेषाधिकार प्राप्त कैथोलिक गोवन परिवार पर औपनिवेशिक शासन के सांस्कृतिक और मानसिक प्रभाव को अलग-अलग नज़रियों से दिखाया गया है। फ़िल्म की कहानी और पटकथा खुद श्याम बेनेगल ने लिखी थी जबकि इसके संवाद शमा ज़ैदी ने लिखे थे। इस फ़िल्म में नसीरुद्दीन शाह, निखिल भगत, अनीता कंवर, नीना गुप्ता, सोनी राजदान, दलीप ताहिल, के.के. रैना, कुणाल कपूर, कीथ स्टीवेन्सन, लकी अली, सलीम घोष, इला अरुण, जयंत कृपलानी, आकाश खुराना, सबीरा मर्चेंट, सुषमा प्रकाश, रेमो फर्नांडिस, अलीशा चिनॉय, कुलभूषण खरबंदा, ध्रुव घानेकर और जॉय घानेकर जैसे अभिनेताओं की एक मज़बूत टोली काम कर रही थी। त्रिकाल गोवा के बहुसांस्कृतिक समाज की औपनिवेशिक विरासत का एक दुर्लभ सिनेमाई चित्रण प्रस्तुत करती है। इस फ़िल्म की कहानी बार-बार फ़्लैशबैक में लौटकर जाती है। कहानी की शुरुआत सन् 1961 से होती है जब एना सूज़ा-सोरेस की सगाई एरास्मो से होनी है, लेकिन यहीं उसके दादा की अचानक मृत्यु से बाधा खड़ी हो...
