Masoom (1983)Released 10 Jan 1983A child's arrival makes the family's existing affections difficult to distribute fairly. Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah let adult discomfort remain visible beside the children's needs. The film's tenderness matters because the household cannot resolve its conflict simply by deciding to be kind.0

Piku (2015)Released 8 May 2015Caregiving is made of repeated arguments, practical routines and attention that nobody can permanently withdraw.

English Vinglish (2012)Released 21 Sept 2012The family has become accustomed to treating Shashi's labour as useful and her uncertainty as comic.

Bawarchi (1972)Released 7 Apr 1972Everybody in the household can explain why somebody else makes life difficult. The ensemble's timing turns those grievances into a recognisable domestic rhythm.

Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994)Released 5 Aug 1994Songs and domestic games make kinship a world the viewer has time to inhabit.

Thappad (2020)Released 27 Feb 2020The family's wish to restore normality keeps exposing what normality has required the wife to accept.

Mother India (1957)Released 13 Feb 1957Nargis makes labour and responsibility the continuing conditions of motherhood. The sons' different paths give the village epic a difficult family centre. Its symbolic scale is enormous, but the most persuasive emotion comes from decisions that love alone cannot make painless.0
