About Aastha: In the Prison of Spring
Aastha: In the Prison of Spring is a story of a lower middle class happy nuclear family. The lady of the family gets involved in prostitution, owing to the not-so-good financial condition of the family. It is the story of the guilt that comes with the money and the cobweb that such a route entails that its quite an effort to come out of the profession once one enters it.
Directed by Basu Bhattacharya, Aastha: In the Prison of Spring leans on a strong ensemble — Rekha, Om Puri, Dinesh Thakur — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1997.
