AB Aparna Sen turned to film directing in 1980 after a highly successful career as an actor. Herdebut film, 36 Chowringhee Lane (1981) highlights the loneliness of an elderly Anglo-Indianwoman. One of her best-known films outside India is Mr & Mrs Iyer (2002), in which anupper caste Hindu woman saves the life of a Muslim stranger in an act of personal com-mitment with the Other. In 15 Park Avenue (2005), a film that focusses on schizophrenia,Sen shows how the female members of a family struggle to cope with mental illness. In thisarticle I discuss how Sen explores different ways of being Indian in these three films andhow she draws attention to values such as personal commitment and tenacity in the face ofdisability, ageing and communalism.
