Mera jivan kora kagaz kora hi reh gaya. I had heard this song several times on television. But I never got an opportunity to watch the film until last Sunday when it was telecasted on doordarshan.


Bespectacled Jaya Bhadhuri walking the dusty street, where the blank paper is flying with the wind, in a white saree, along with equally serious Chetan Anand had given me an impression that the movie is about a very serious social issue. Yes now indeed it has become a social issue – interferance of the bride's mother in her matrimonial household.


Jaya Bhaduri is the daughter of a college Principal. The Principal is married to a fiesty wife excellently played by Achala Sachdev. The Principal has an obedient student, Chetan Anand who has now become a professor. Jaya falls in love with Chetan. Achala does not approve of the alliance.


Post the marriage in an attempt to keep her daughter happy she tries to provide all the material comfort to her daughter which she feels her husband would not afford for her. That starts to create a rift between the couple. Plus she also lies to her relatives that he is doing a doctorate from a foreign university. That given Chetan a feeling that his in-laws are ashamed of him.


These small issues assume bigger proportions and the couple splits up. Sachdev is too eager to get her daughter divorced and marry her off to a wealthy man who equals her status.


Inspite of more than four decades passing since its release the movie appears surprisingly fresh. It has something which even today's movies lack – content. The stars do not overpower the script. The actors do perfect justice to their roles. The music is another attraction. Even in a script like this the melodious music fills in the lines beautifully. The movie is highly recommended for it reminds us of a time when content was important than the stars and scripts were more important than the marketing skills.
