Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
In this East Indian film, a young Indian man is preparing for a job interview at a business firm which is run along British lines. He searches everywhere for a proper western-style suit but in the end is forced to go wearing his regular clothing. Though he answers the interviewer's questions well, he does not get the job. Later, angry and humiliated both by his need to wear a European-style suit and by his failure to get one, both of which contribute to his failing to get the job, he throws a stone at the window of a store which is displaying one.
