Jhanjhaar (Fire) is a 1987 Hindi social drama film directed by V. Shantaram. Made under Rajkamal Kalamandir banner it was a V. Shantaram Productions film.[1] It had music by Kalyanji Anandji. The film starred Sushant Ray (Shantaram's grandson), with Padmini Kolhapure,[2] and the rest of the cast included Yunus Parvez, Sudhir Pandey and Ranjana Deshmukh (niece of Hindi film actress Sandhya who was V. Shantaram's wife). Ranjana's career came to a halt when she met with a car accident on the way to the shooting of this film in Bangalore.[3][4]
Culminating the end of a career that "spanned" nearly seventy years in Indian cinema, Jhanjhaar was Shantaram's last released film, and a commercial failure at the box-office.[5][6] Shantaram was 85 years at the time of making Jhanjhaar.[7]
The film is set in a village where a man claiming to be a freedom-fighter takes advantage of the villagers for his own evil purposes. The story then follows the rise of the villagers against him.
