Description: Video details - 123mKAHnbtI: Railway Platform, 1955 Director: Ramesh Saigal Music: Madan Mohan Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi Playback: Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi, S.D. Batish Cast: Nalini Jaywant, Sunil Dutt, Sheela Ramani, Johnny Walker, Manmohan, Raj Mehra, Jagdeep, Dharmendra, Nana Palsikar English language subtitles created from scratch by Anu. The Hindi-challenged among us owe her a big debt of gratitude because it's a pleasure to enjoy a film with outstanding subtitles, rather than the garbage provided by Indian media companies. I deleted the original version uploaded here because Anu pointed out a two minute section was in the wrong place in my source. I fixed it, redid the subs, and then uploaded this 'new and improved' version that might make a bit more sense. I apologize for any inconvenience I might have caused. Melodramatic parable in a social-realist idiom. A flood forces a train to stop for 24 hours at a remote railway station in the Andher Nagari (land of darkness) kingdom ruled by an authoritarian king whose daughter Princess Indira (Ramani) is among the passengers. Other passengers include the unemployed Ramu (Dutt), his sister and aged mother; Kavi, a long-haired and cynical poet; a laundryman and his formidable wife; and an avaricious Marwari businessman, Nasibchand. When the food runs out, Nasibchand buys the local grocery shop and starts a black market. A Westernised clique, keeping their distance from the others, starts dancing and drinking while a Brahmin priest charges money to perform mandatory religious rituals. Indira falls in love with Ramu and wants to marry him right away, although the grocer’s poor daughter Naina (Jaywant) also loves him. The marriage is interrupted by the arrival of Indira’s royal father. Eventually Ramu and Naina get married. The film included the hit Basti basti parbat parbat (sung by Mohammed Rafi) and several catchy numbers by Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. If the Encyclopedia Of Indian Cinema is to be believed, the film is 162 minutes long, much longer than the 131+ minutes available here. There are missing bits all over, from a few frames giving a brief 'jump' to cut off scenes (and probably completely missing scenes as well). But not enough to disrupt the flow of the film, I don't think. This was Sunil Dutt's first film, with his his real breakthrough coming two years later with his role in Mother India. This is the first film I've seen featuring the gorgeous Sheila Ramani where she does more than an item dance. The dialog and Sahir's lyrics are full of the Socialist message common in films made in the decade or so after independence. And, of course, the greatest of all Indian actresses (in my opinion) - Nalani Jaywant - stars as an illiterate and naive village girl.
