For protesters and police at Jantar Mantar, lessons from Nana Patekar films
Nana Patekar's films depict the anger of citizens towards power, but also the aftermath of that anger. His characters are often angry, wounded, and impatient with the disconnect between promises and reality. Patekar's films don't resolve the debates on electoral accountability, protests, and state power - instead, they help us understand how the public views citizens confronting authority and the limitations of this perspective.
While Patekar's cinematic portrayals of anger and confrontation may not solve these disputes, they offer insight into the public perception of authority and the limitations of this viewpoint.
