Katha is one of the underrated films made, It stars Farooque Sheikh and Naseeruddin Shah both known for ART Films, while in 1983 when films like Coolie were being made, such films were mostly unnoticed but yet it's a great film. The film is very simple and realistic, based on the folklore of the race between Hare and Tortoise, but here they have twisted it, showing it in modern times(circa 1983) but yet it holds true even today. The characters are well etched,Naseeruddin Shah plays a simple man who doesn't have guts to profess his love to his neighbour Deepti Naval. While his friend Farooque Sheikh is a swindler who tells people his fake stories and dupes them. The film is well handled, it has it's moments of fun, emotions and it's all well handled.
Direction is good Music is okay
Farooque Sheikh is simply outstanding, normally known for his romantic and simple roles here he plays a cunning guy to perfection Naseeruddin Shah is equally convincing as the simple guy Rajaram Deepti Naval is good too Leela Mishra is superb, others are all good too
