REVIEWS :
The hallmark of a true classic lies in its ability to transcend the barrier of time and fickle audience tastes. There is an element of timelessness in such movies, an ability to hold cinemagoers’ interest for the entire duration. The same timel ess appeal makes this black and white film,starring the power couple of Dilip Kumar and Nimmi, a treat to watch, more than half a century after its release.
The film showcases why Dilip Kumar is revered as the most consummate star to have graced the Indian screen, ever. His command over his skill is unparalleled, evident in his portrayal of Shankar, a good-hearted, angst-ridden village artisan, who makes toys for a meagre living, but is shunned for his love of the bottle. He exhibits complete mastery over his inimitable oeuvre of emotions — the drunkard with a fine comic timing, the intense interaction with his ailing mother, his effort to stave off social stigma of being perceived a troublemaker and his romance with the petite Nimmi. The man is superb in every scene.
The story is engaging. The poor family of Lala Jagat Narain (Kanhaiyalal), his wife (Leela Mishra), daughter Pushpa (Usha Kiron) and step sister Paro (Nimmi) hit the jackpot when a dead relative bequeaths her wealth on them. Paro shares a childhood bond with Shankar — akin to friendship, but which is actually unsaid love. Although Shankar also harbours a soft corner for her, he hides his feelings behind an acerbic tongue. He finds it difficult to make two ends meet because of his habit of drinking.
Despite exhortations from his ailing mother, and Paro, Shankar is not able to shed the bottle, till he leaves for the city after subjecting Paro to a vicious bout of violence.
