It would have been part of mainstream cinema and a hit as well, had it been made in present times. A story about slum dwellers, their lives, their fight to make daily living, fight with system and fight with each other. A beautifully made movie has won 3 Filmfare awards in 1982; Best Actor (Naseeruddin Shah), Best Actress (Smita Patil) & Best Art Director (Bansi Chandragupta). And a National Award for Smita Patil as Best Actress. It has a couple of good songs too.
