A GENERATIONAL SAGA
Trikal, an ambitious (but ultimately unsuccessful) period drama helmed by Shyam Benegal in 1985, serves up a delectable slice of Goa in the 60s, when it was still under Portuguese rule. The late Leela Naidu starred as the doyenne of a crumbling Goan Christian clan. It remains one of the few films in which women took centre-stage with its ensemble cast including many fine talents. Here we remember the film's wonderful cast of women.

One of Shyam Benegal's finest works! The movie will make you experience the Goan Portuguese culture, their lifestyle, their music and in the end, you feel as if you have actually experienced the entire happening.

Thanks for writing in, Priya. Will update this soon as soon as we can trace Aneeta Kanwar :)

a little more text(info on who is doing what now, and who is not traceable?) would have made it a better read.
