Mother India

Mother India is a 1957 Hindi epic melodrama film, directed by Mehboob Khan and starring Nargis, Sunil Dutt, Rajendra Kumar, and Raaj Kumar. Although a remake of 1940 film 'Aurat', 'Mother India' was and is still regarded as an epic film. The film is about the hardships of a poor village woman, who raises her children despite all odds, and in the end, chooses moral good over her own criminal son. The chemistry between Nargis and Sunil Dutt as mother-son on screen, and a couple off it, was the icing on the cake.
