There are several female directors in the Indian film industry but only a few were successful in making their mark. Kalpana Lajmi was one of them who impressed with a variety of movies.
In a sad news, she breathed her last on the early morning of Sunday due to Kidney related cancer. She was treated at a private hospital in Mumbai but her body could not respond properly to the treatment. Her brother Dev Lajmi has revealed the news on Twitter.
She was more popular for her works as an independent filmmaker by working more on realistic, low-budget films, and paved a way for the parallel cinema in India. Most of her films were women-oriented.
Rudali, Darmiyan, Dhaman are some of her best works. Her last film was Chingari in 2006. May her soul rest in peace.
