It is Balraj Sahni's greatest performance equally impactful as in 'Do Bigha Zameen' (1953), Balraj Sir followed Stanislavski's method acting and delivered that momentous and deeply profound scene, where her daughter dies somewhat the same way her real life daughter died, and the immense grief was one of the reasons for his hear attack after completing the dubbing of this movie. M. S. Sathyu regrets that decision too to include that scene in the movie which was originally not a part of it. But the brilliant star left his imprints here in his last movie and what a great work it is overall by each department of the movie. The realistic picturization of every event, the natural acting and depiction of the real life hidden evils inside normal human beings of ethnic, cultural and religious divide which needs to be filled. A sensitive movie with a social message of living in peace and harmony and teaching love and fraternity. Kudos to this piece of art!
