- Abid           Let us know what you think about this story

Vijay Dan Detha , who watched the film at a special screening last week at Bombay , said 'Paheli' was a great film and Palekar had not diluted the flavour of his original story .

" Like Kaul's 'Duvidha' , 'Paheli' is an art film ," the author says . " People might think that star cast and big budget ( compared to Kaul's film) means a commercial venture but the film has no commercial angle at all . Amol asked me to expand the original story and add a little more about the characters and when I started doing that , the story turned into a short novel .Gulzars's lyrics and MM Kreem's music have been beautifully knitted with the story so much so that I found them blended into my story ," adds the 'Sahitya Akademi Award' winner .
