Discerning observers of Deepa Sahi’s film career would always be in a dilemma as to whether she has been a better director or a more talented actress. Perhaps she herself was also caught in between this duality of thought about which of her two prominent qualities she should give more priority. Whatever that may be, she has always displayed an independent trait in herself, right from the time she decided to stay back in India when all the rest of her family shifted to Canada.

Her next film “Aghaat”, again by Nihalani, a year later, was also well received and got the Filmfare Critics award that year, featuring once again the leading lights of parallel cinema.

Her role as the straight talking, unabashed backward class woman from interior Punjab was on the lips of connoisseurs for long. As a director her first venture was the romantic comedy “ Tere Mere Phere Click to look into! >> Read More... ” in 2011, but it met with only moderate commercial success, while “Mangal Pandey: The Rising”, co produced with her husband earlier in 2005, fared better.
