Plot

The story of a small-town man who comes to make it big in the city, where he is almost instantly relieved of all his possessions. Homeless and penniless, he is taken in by a woman who looks after him.

Sinekatalog’s take

Raj Kapoor's hit comedy-drama follows an honest young man corrupted by Bombay's temptations, with Nargis as his conscience. Charming, tuneful and satirical, with the tramp-like hero, it is a classic of 1950s Hindi cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
