About 22 June 1897
Due to a plague epidemic in Pune, the British Government deputes C.W. Rand as Chairman of the Special Plague Committee, empowering him to do whatever is necessary to control the menace. Rand's heavy handed measures deeply offend local sensibilities, driving a group of angry youngsters to assassinate him and Lt. Charles Ayerst- the first outbreak of revolutionary activities in British India.
Directed by Jayoo Patwardhan, Nachiket Patwardhan, 22 June 1897 leans on a strong ensemble — Arundathi Nag, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Prabhakar Patankar — 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 1979.
