Ghulam Hussin(Farooq Shaikh) is unemployed and in search of work is relocated to Bombay from Lucknow. His mother and wife Khairun(Smita Patil) stays behind. Ghulam's friend Lalulal(Jalal Agha) gets him a job of cleaning taxis, and he then learns to drive taxi.
Despite his effort he is not able to save enough money. Even his friend Lalulal has not saved enough money. It's a classic portayal of a man's struggle for survival. There are couple of short monolouges whiich actually reflects Ghulam's emotion and his effort.
Farooq Shaikh is a genius playing such type of role where his expression and eyes tells rather than the dialouges. He is simply marvellous here. Smita Patil is unbelivable. She has a limited appearance but conveys so much with her eyes.
As the name suggest, Gaman means migration can be a story of anyone not only Ghulam Hussain. Many scene of the movie will make you feel numb, eyes moist and lump in throat. The last scene in particular left a heavy impact on me.
The movie could not have been made more realistic. The portayl of life and every charaters are such real.
