Nagmandala

'Videsh' by Deepa Mehta has intricately woven two domains - The stereotypical migrant punjabi family in Canada and the punjabi adaptation of 'Nagmandala' by Neelam Mansingh Chowdhary. The film is a great tribute to 'The Company' as it brings out the memories of the play's lights, sounds and folk songs as the film unfolds. Nagmandala is important today only because Sonal and then Deepa chose to work on it and carve it into nothing less than a classic.
