Aastha: In the Prison of Spring is a 1997 Bollywood film, produced and directed by Basu Bhattacharya. The film stars Rekha, Om Puri, Navin Nischol and Daisy Irani in the main roles. The film went on to receive both critical acclaim and commercial success, the latter of which had eluded Basu in his last few films.
The film explores the theme of marital discord and extramarital affairs, as Mansi (Rekha), a housewife and mother, gets involved in prostitution to satisfy her materialistic and sexual needs. She is lured by Reena (Daisy Irani), a wealthy woman who runs a high-class escort service. Mansi struggles to balance her double life, while hiding her secret from her husband Amar (Om Puri), a college professor.
The film was seen as a follow up of the noted trilogy Basu Bhattacharya made around marital discord in the 1970s, with Anubhav (1971), Avishkaar (1973) and Griha Pravesh (1979). The film also marked Rekha's bold and controversial role, as she portrayed a married woman who turns into a prostitute. The film featured explicit love scenes, which were criticized by some audiences.
The film was released on 28 January 1997 and ran for 132 minutes. The film's music was composed by Shaarang Dev, with lyrics by Gulzar. The film was nominated for the 1997 Star Screen Award for Best Actress for Rekha.
