Shankar Nag's socio-political Kannada feature film Accident, released in 1985, bagged the National Film Award and several Karnataka state film awards for Best Picture. Acting alongside him was his real-life brother Ananth Nag and his wife Arundathi Nag. The film was critically acclaimed for its engaging storyline about the tussle between corrupt politicians and the Indian judiciary in the 80s. Colloquially dubbed as Auto Raja by fans, Shankar Nag has delivered some of the most iconic Kannada movies of all time. The film, also directed by Nag, sees him play a journalist. The film follows a corrupt politician who would go to any lengths to protect his son and his own reputation. His son Deepak runs over a few pedestrians while in an inebriated state. Only one man survives. The rest of the film plays out like a cat-and-mouse chase, with police and media in tow. Though there are no songs in the movie, music maestro Illayaraja was hired to score the background for a few scenes in the film.The sounds of retro car screeches, typewriting, camera shutters, the silence during accident scenes, the pink television noise all add up to lend the film its discomfiting environment. Although shot 35 years ago, this deep-rooted film is definitely worth revisiting for its relevance and depiction.If you haven't watched this classic then do so on Jiocinema, Youtube and MX player.Well, that was the Lost and Found Kannada language film Accident for today on OTTplay.I shall be back again with another critically acclaimed film but lesser-known. Until then it's your host Nikhil signing out.

A small, personal decision can sometimes change the world. When 23-year old Nibhaya was gang-raped on a moving bus in Delhi, film-maker Vibha decided to make a documentary about rape in India. Nothing had prepared her for the heart-wrenching stories she was about to hear or the everyday heroes she was about to meet. And then the film took on a life of its own, growing into a national movement and cultural beacon that has united millions of people from all corners of India. The people's message was clear: it is time to break the silence and shift the shame from the victim to the perpetrator. Bosslady Vibha is an award-winning film director & producer. A former business reporter for CNBC, Vibha studied Journalism and Broadcasting at Boston University and New York University. Vibha’s films have been aired on HBO and Lifetime TV in the United States. Her latest film "Daughters of Mother India" is the winner of the National Film Award for Best Film on Social Issues, awarded by President of India.

We discussed the value of changing just one person at a time and its multiplier effect. We talked about society's view on rape and how it is evolving. We discussed the hugely important role that the Delhi police force played in the making of the film - and its dissemination afterwards. We discussed how "Daughters of Mother India" turned into a national movement... and what happens next.
