Ananth Mahadevan’s first feature film, Ghunghat Ke Pat Khol (1999), is getting a new lease of life. In May, the Joy Sengupta and Sucheta Khanna-starrer came into focus when Mahadevan claimed that Kiran Rao’s acclaimed work, Laapataa Ladies, borrowed heavily from it (‘Mix-up in train and station straight from my film’, May 10). Now, the digital rights of Ghunghat Ke Pat Khol have been bought by Shemaroo, and the movie will stream on ShemarooMe from January.
