Set against the backdrop of Bombay's industrial landscape, Tarang follows the entangled lives of a factory owner's family and the workers who sustain their wealth. Shahani crafts a sprawling epic about power, desire, and the violence that capital inscribes on human relationships. The film operates in a register entirely its own — part political treatise, part sensory poem.

This film is what happens when you hand a camera to someone who actually understands dialectics. Shahani doesn't explain capitalism — he films it breathing down your neck. 2h55m and I didn't blink.
Found a terrible print of this on YouTube at 2am. Still the most beautiful thing I've watched this year. Someone please restore this.
The K.K. Mahajan cinematography alone is worth the runtime. Every frame looks like it was composed by someone who genuinely hated the visual grammar of Bollywood.
