This is a Hindi language film starring Ashok Kumar.
A lengthy film about an idealistic and selfless landlord. Who tries to balance situations in life, about his tough wife who rules over the peasants with an iron hand. And his love for music and the downtrodden.
He willingly takes up a lot of hardships and sacrifices in life for this. A watchable film for the kind of self-sacrifice of a human for the poor and for family - which is so unique in our culture.
Ashok Kumar gives a brilliant performance. The music is great and especially Dada Muni's (Ashok Kumar as he was lovingly referred to) singing of Rail Gaadi as rap song!
A different film from Hrishikesh Mukherjee who was more popular for his light hearted comedies. But it is this film along with his directorial debut Musafir that show the depth of his talent truly.
