Movie Reviews of Mother India
Movie Review: Classical Movie from India
Summary: 5 Stars
Radha (Nargis) now an old woman remembers her past. She remembers her married life. The family has to work extremely hard to pay off the moneylender Sukhilala (Kanhaiyalal). Her husband (Raj Kumar) loses both his arms in an accident and feeling useless abandons the family. Alone, Radha has to raise her children while fending off financial as well as sexual pressures from Sukhilala. One son dies in a flood, and in later years one son Ramu (Rajendra Kumar) grows to be a dutiful son while the other Birju (Sunil Dutt) becomes a rebel committed to direct, violent action. Finally to preserve the honour of the village, Radha puts an end to Birju's rebellious activities by shooting him down. Mother India is the ultimate tribute to Indian Womanhood! This epic saga of the sufferings of an Indian peasant woman has an inherent and perennial appeal, being typical of the Indian situation. So tremendous was its success that the film is in fact a reference point in the long-suffering mother genre and is like an Indian Gone With the Wind (1939).
Movie Review: The grievous reality!
Summary: 5 Stars
Haunting film and painful portrait of Indian in those fifties. Ferocious critique of the caste's system that rules the life of Indian people through the traps employed by a swindler band to cheat illiterate persons.
A brave film made with honesty, courage and honour, nominated as Best Foreign Film in 1957.
Movie Review: Fantastic Epic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutley LOVE this movie! I like to watch a long movie that makes it worthwhile to keep watching and this one shows the joys and sorrows in the life of a young woman until her elderly years. The actors are gorgeous and that little boy should have one an Oscar!Movie Review: One of my favorites
Summary: 5 Stars

Movie Review: Buy the Video
Summary: 3 Stars
A while ago, I got rid of my VCR and put in a DVD player in my computer. I re-purchased almost all the films I had in DVD format.
This movie is one of the great classics of world cinema and is a must view. Why am I rating it only 3 stars? The DVD transfer is AWFUL. I sorely regret having given away my VHS copy; it was much better.
Buy the VHS.
