Foot Path (1953)
Footpath, the gem of indian cinema
The writer has touched the evil of black marketing with surgical precision. It's a never ending theme, which holds good even today in the periods of pandemic. It's amazing how aptly the writer understood the black market methodology way back in 1953.
The music is beautiful, especially two songs, one by talaat Hussain and one by Asha Bhosley(Sham e Gham ki qasam and kaisa Jadoo dala re) carry everlasting appeal.
Acting by Dilip Kumar and Meena Kumari is the finest indian cinema could ever produce. Especially Dilip Kumar,s confession in the police station can be easily rated as greatest piece of acting ever produced by an indian actor.
It's beyond understanding how the indian cinema critics didn't rate this movie as a distinct and extra ordinary piece of work.
It's gem of a work and is strongly recommended for viewers.
