Before this, I just couldn't imagine in my dreams a movie where Meena Kumari sticks up against Lalita Pawar!!! But those scenes were sheer delight. True, there is nothing new in the story and its a weepy every second scene.

I cringe seeing them together. He makes her look bad beside him! (I know its not his fault and by the late 60s Meena Kumari had puffed up quite considerably) It pains me to see her in her later films. But atleast this one is a B&W. And coz I have read the novel, I am eager to watch my fav. lady in such a strong role.<br /><br />Punyahttp://goldentalkies.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777739108126382030.post-1628967948437595022011-03-17T14:23:16.078-07:002011-03-17T14:23:16.078-07:00@ Anonymous I consider Hrishida a legend too, but...@ Anonymous I consider Hrishida a legend too, but this is by no means amongst his finest work in my opinionbollywooddeewanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04916533314639410268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777739108126382030.post-13988512112508651412011-01-25T09:38:17.657-08:002011-01-25T09:38:17.657-08:00Thank you so much for your very kind and encouragi...Thank you so much for your very kind and encouraging words Truti, comments like yours makes blogging all the more encouraging.

It's brilliant and stars some of the greats of classical Bengali cinema, namely Kanan Devi (she used to sing in her own voice in films), Tulsi Chakraborty, Jahar Ganguli and Nripati Chatterjee.
