"…the mighty ancestor of the Bollywood genre."—Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian (UK)
“…arguably the most popular and influential movie ever produced in India.”—J. Hoberman, Village Voice
This epic classic is the film against which all other Bollywood films are judged. A must see for any lover of film.
Following the life of village elder Radha (Nargis), we watch her survive decades of family strife, political struggle, and natural disasters. Through her experiences she soon embodies the very spirit of India. Khan’s film remains a classic of Indian cinema, with its glamorized depiction of rural life, gorgeous photography, and epic storytelling.
