MUBI's take

Loosely inspired by a true story, Tapan Sinha’s Ek Doctor Ki Maut sharply comments on the “brain drain” afflicting the subcontinent. Enriched by Pankaj Kapur, Shabana Azmi and Irrfan Khan’s stellar performances, this drama spotlights the grim realities faced by scientific researchers in India.
