Anveshane (
Plot
In the mid-1980s, Shaam (Anant Nag) and Revati (Smita Patil) live in a Vatara (housing complex) with a host of other families and two little girls. A ‘vatara’ is a set of houses that are usually owned by one person and inhabited by many families. Shaam works for a travel agency while Revati is a school teacher. Both are working hard to make ends meet in a social structure that has been making it increasingly difficult for the middle class. There is a lot of affection and love in this family that lives under the prying nose of old, perverted and goofy men who are married to nosy, loud and annoying women. Day in and day out the couple follows a standard routine which involves everyday chores of getting the kids ready for school, making breakfast and heading off to work. The house is locked all day until they all return in the evening.
Ajja (
Dharwad-chap Rotti (Girish Karnad) visits them one day looking for Shekhar. Shaam starts tracing Rotti and manages to end up in a rather amusing face-off with him one fine day. The story unfolds as we start picking up the chips of the story from Rotti's eyes. His connection with Shekhar unravels and all the pieces of this puzzle seem to fall into place.[2]
