Cast And Crew
| Starring |
Mirch Masala is set in colonial India during the early 1940’s when tax collectors (subedars) used to travel from village to village to demand taxes. By making use of their power, they would oppress villagers & seize women along with property & money. One such subedar (Naseeruddin Shah) commands a local woman, Sonbai (Smita Patil) whose husband (Raj Babbar) is away, to sleep with him. Sonbai flees from his grasp and takes shelter in a local spice factory. This plunges the entire village into conflict. When a group of women wants to join Sonbai in her unusual insurrection, they are repelled by their own husbands. The villagers and village chief (Suresh Oberoi) must now decide whether to hand over Sonbai to Subedar, or let him destroy their village and molest their wives, sisters and daughters. Finally it is the women who take things into their own hands and teach the subedar a lesson.
