pioneered political consciousness, Roshomon deconstructed the myth of
authentic observation, Dekalog tweaked social mores, One flew over a cuckoo's

spilling revenge, then there exists ONLY ONE Hindi movie that pays tribute to all
these traditions without compromising on the inheritance of a typically Indian
narration.

taking. Along with Amber Fort and Jaigarh Fort, Nahargarh once formed a strong
defence ring for the city. The fort was originally named Sudarshangarh, but it became

characters in the movie.

for crime flick Khalnayak (1993), Subhash Ghai turned the space into a prison –
and the turnout was so massive that riot police had to be pulled in. and in 2006,
It reopened under the Adlabs aegis, with six screens. Still, it wasn’t enough.
