About the Film: A gem of the eighties cinema, Mirch Masala is  set in colonial India and highlights the cruelty and tyranny of the subedars (tax collectors) and also the sexism of the  villagers in the face of oppression. This leads to the memorable climactic act of female defiance which has lost none of its power to this day.
