Half Truth: Mumbai Home and Film

half truth: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a host of leading movie stars tweeted condolence messages shortly after Puri's death was announced Friday morning, according to Guelph Mercury. The artists will all miss him and it's a big loss to the industry. He was 66. His name was taken along the great artists of the world, not just India, film director Prakash Jha said, as he joined several people from the Indian film industry outside Puri's Mumbai home. His breakthrough film was the 1983 gritty drama Ardh Satya, or Half Truth, about a young policeman's crisis of conscience as he deals with the nexus of crime and politics in India. In a career spanning more than three decades, Puri had won a slew of national awards and international fame for his work in several critically acclaimed films. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
