The last film by Balraj Sahani. Great communal story in partition era of India. A muslim shoemaker's struggle in increasingly partisan climate.
Raj Kapoor's presentation of the humble lifestyle of two children who wish to overcome the obstacles of abject poverty.

If Raj (Raj Kapoor) had his way, he would have been a poet, not the engineer that circumstances made him into. The perfection of nature fascinated him more than the nature of mechanical things. One day Raj is sent to work at the Saraswati Dam, the exquisitely beautiful location. As Raj reveled in his new found paradise, his father visits him and tells him about his deceased mother's wish that Raj should marry Chandra (Vijay Laxmi), the sophisticated daughter of a rich family friend. On his father's insistence, Raj agrees to write to Chandra. The letter is sheer poetry, but it's beauty completely wasted on Chandra who wants to ignore it. Neelu (Nargis), her teenage sister, moved by the writer's eloquence and sincerity, acknowledges the letter on her behalf. Neelu's reply sparks off a correspondence and then circumstances that lead Neelu and Raj falling deeply in love. Just when it seems that they will live happily ever after, Raj is diagnosed suffering from TB
Raj Kapoor's famous movie. Pran in his first character appearance with Nargis. Even Mukesh sings and acts in the final song as the Cart Man.
This one is special. This one is close to heart. Young Shammi Kapoor and beautyful Saira Banu. Golden couple, melodious songs and eastman color. Ah Heavens!
One of my favourite movies. Sunil Dutt, Vahida Rehman's love story with a few bullets flying here and there! Shot in a record short time, not only because it was Sunil Dutt's production, but also because in those days, CHAMBAL valley was full of real dacoits. Jaidev's melodious music with Sahir's haunting tunes.
V. Shantaram as Dr. Kotnis in this true story of early WW 2 era of a self sacrificing young and idealistic doctor.
Nutan Manish The last Black & White Hindi movie. Beautiful and massively popular songs. One of the last movie with Nutan in a lead role.
