1.jagriti(1954)

The film highlights the basic cultural

ethos of India, in which the young pay respects to their teachers and

elders

and love for others, while the teacher becomes a beackon of hope, and

everlasting friendships. A

really fine movie to see by the whole family, and excellent aid for

display

in schools. It should become part of school curriculum in India, in all

schools.

daughter behind) and a little girl Mini. He's initially homesick until, one day, he meets Mini.

platonic relationship. This enables Bhoot Nath to see the life of his

mistress through her perspective, and the life she is doomed to live.

5.shaheed(1965)

A period film portraying a freedom fighter . I like only this shaheed starring manoj kumar. after watching this. no other remakes stood up to this. not even shaheed starring ajay devgun.

6.mera naam joker(1970)

Raju is a joker, a clown. It is what he is and what he always shall be.

As his life story unfolds in three chapters, from his school days to

the circus to the streets, he must always make people laugh and be

indifference of some children and the commitment of others.
