Problem 3 - Entrance Test

Which 1983 parallel-cinema classic was financed entirely by the state-run National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) and remains the only Hindi film to have won the ‘Best Use of Still Photography’ citation at the National Film Awards?

Correct: C

Kundan Shah’s dark satire ‘Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro’ was funded by NFDC’s low-budget scheme. The award for ‘Best Use of Still Photography’ recognised the still-photo montage that opens the film, shot by Virendra Saini, setting the narrative tone without dialogue.
