About Sadgati
When a poor and out-caste village tanner goes to village priest to get the date of his daughter's marriage fixed, the priest in turn asks for labor without pay in exchange.
Directed by Satyajit Ray, Sadgati leans on a strong ensemble — Om Puri, Smita Patil, Mohan Agashe — 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 1981.
