I was surprised to read the comments from Mr Dilip. Mr Dilip, I thinkyou didn't get a good print or you were not able to concentrate for some reason. This movie is a emotionally gripping tale of humanity, dignity and self-respect! Hats off to the team! It should have got an Oscar. But the Oscar committee does not appreciate songs in movies because Hollywood clearly lacks the talent for composing songs for movie sequences. They have to make "explicit musicals" to do so. What a pity ! India has produced great music directors for movies. Nargis did a great job in this movie along with other actors and actresses. The music is just unforgettable. Naushad will always be remembered for the haunting tunes.
