The apartment in Padatik, The Guerrilla Fighter (1973)

A section of criticism faced by the film was directed at this episode and the character of Sheela, with many calling the episode an island outside the 'Indian reality'. Though Sen has admitted in later interviews that it might have been a different and more effective vantage point if Sumit had taken refuge in a class-location closer to his own, he has admitted to have been stubborn in his resolve because of the extreme reactions that the episode and the character evoked. While the presence of women, especially within the agit-prop aesthetics of this period, has been remarkably uneven in Sen's cinema, there are startling parallels that the narrative draws upon. The narrative, at certain junctures in their conversation, posits a certain shared space of struggle for the two though the nature and outcome of these are extremely different. They are both trying to overcome their own constraints, be it personal or political. One aspect of this shared matrix is of course the fact that her brother had been a revolutionary himself and had been killed by the State. 

At the same time, through the character of Sheela, broader concerns regarding the Women's Question, both in society and within the left movement, are addressed, unlike anywhere else in Sen's oeuvre. This, however, is not without its inherent problems either. The very fact that Sheela is obviously from an upper-class, financially secure background was used by critics to question both Sumit's easy and unquestioning acceptance of his upper-class hideout and the efficacy of examining the Marxist women's movement from an inherently compromised bourgeois class position. The casting of Simi Garewal is interesting for this debate too. Simi grew up in England and studied at Newland House School with her sister Amrita. In 1961, she moved back to India in order to become an actress. Never a conventional Hindi film actress, her career was marked by a series of unconventional choices which can be read into the graph of her character in Padatik.  --  via
