“Mem-saab” was formerly used in colonial
India as a form of respectful address for a
European woman. In The Memsahib, British
school teacher Grace Roberts finds love with
Jayantraj Rathod (Parvin Dabas, Monsoon
Wedding) the benevolent king of Begampur, in
1850s India. Grace begins teaching children at
the town well, ignoring the class system mores
and the warnings of many. The film rolls politics,
romance and speculative fiction into two
stories, joined through central characters who
bridge the centuries from India’s colonial past
to its industrial present.

Rajen Kothari.
