A well acted film about a family story with superb performance by Padmini. If you would like to see a Hindi movie where Pran is not a villain and Padmini does not have a dance sequence, go an enjoy this two and a half hour long Gemini family drama with some excellent piece of acting by Padmini, Pran and young and up coming Rajesh Khanna.
This is a story of Parvati Padmini who is the sole bread winner of six siblings including a grown up Suresh Rajesh Khanna who she is determined to support his higher education with her humble income working as a household maid for a very compassionate family. The movie is all about Parvati played magnificently by Padmini who has demonstrated her acting skills as a loving elder sister of her siblings, a wife devoted to her husband Manharilal Pran inspite of his animal like instincts and also providing a motherly love of her husband's children.
The song sequence in the river was very well depicted with some excellent photography. The music is commendable and has some melodious numbers. Overall it is an enjoyable movie about a woman's struggle to survive in this world with special focus on how far a family can go to support higher education to make a meaningful life for one of their members.

Block nthwall. PLOT :. The original version of Mehboobs classic Mother India The heroine Radha Akhtar works her fingers to the bone to pay off the villanious moneylender Sukhilala.
She and husband Shamu Arun have three sons, and when she gets pregnant yet again Shamu removes himself from the scene and leaves her to battle against starvation and the advances of the villain. The two eldest son die, leaving Radha with the diligent Ramu Surendra and her favourite, temperamental Birju Yakub who goes astray and becomes a bandit chieftain, which causes the family to be ostracised by the village.
Birju murders Sukhilala and attempts to abduct his childhood sweatheart, Tulsi Brij Rani. Radha then kills her son. The film lacks the psychoannalytic dimension and the overtones of socialist realism present in its famous remake, but Akhtars extraordinary performance endows it with an eathiness rooted in North Indian agrarian feudalism that seems to be missing from Mother Indias attempt at nationalist allegory.
Also Known As: Aurat See more ». Show detailed company contact information on IMDbPro ». Aurat is a heart-wrenching tale about a woman,s spirit of surviving against all odds and standing up for good, no matter what. Jul 10, - Uploaded by suyash das. Email Address:. Sign me up! But after my dear friend and devoted Rajesh fan Suhan sent me a link to one of the songs from this, I investigated further and discovered that, besides a very young Rajesh, the cast included a very young Feroz Khan, the lovely Nazima, PRAN!
I figured with these people and the lovely music by Ravi maybe I could survive the Red Mist that I would likely be afflicted with, and I am so glad I took the chance. I found it unexpectedly sweet and funny, and if the story went a bit overboard in places…well, such is life. Plus, no Red Mist at all! Or hardly at all. While it is certainly true that Padmini sacrifices early and often, her actions make sense and she is no weeping helpless pushover.
Parvati Padmini is the eldest of eight children: seven daughters and one son, Suresh Rajesh Khanna. They live with their widowed mother Leela Chitnis —a sweet but ditzy woman—and although they are poor, Parvati holds down three jobs as a maid in order to purchase eyeliner by the boat-load and put Suresh through medical school. Parvati is diligent, dependable, and indispensable; in short, she verges dangerously on being perfect. But she avoids that particular pitfall by yelling at her mother when she is particularly dense, or becoming exasperated with a lecherous employer.
Anand is involved in a property dispute which, if he wins, will net him 4 lakhs, enabling him to marry Parvati and help out the family. He is smitten with her on sight, and sends his representative to offer his proposal—a proposal which infuriates Suresh who has no idea that things at home are so tight, because Parvati keeps it from him and he always has his nose in a book.
But Parvati, being the sensible and responsible eldest girl that she is, has other ideas. She agrees to meet Manohar and strikes a bargain with him: she will marry him if he agrees to support Suresh through the rest of medical school and provide for the rest of her family.
If they knew Manohar was looking for a bride they would interfere, and he knows it. Anand is somewhat annoyingly placid and philosophical about the whole thing, which makes me think maybe Parvati has had a lucky escape even if he is a handsome hunk of man with a welcome mat on his chest.
I love Lalita Pawar in everything, and she is hilarious with these kids, who are themselves less annoying than most of their ilk in cinema. Of course, they soon discover that Parvati is a paragon of virtue, and bond quickly with her. There are some very funny scenes as the children are first terrified of her, and then begin to trust her—and she has a thing or two to teach Asha about kids who are old enough to have developed spines and neck muscles.
At this juncture, I am struck again by how different this film is from the usual female-sacrificing-her-all types of films: in her new home, Parvati is soon much loved and appreciated by her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and stepchildren. She seems quite happy and fulfilled, and certainly her life is better than it was as maid to three households.
There, he tries to reform prim Parvati into a modern woman. And after the party—which features a great little dance scene where I look hard for my friends Terence and Edwina—she goes back to her regular style with no repercussions. So so sweet and two pretty love songs! I am always happy to see Nazima, and she is very cute with Rajesh. But alas! Parvati is pining for the family, and convinces Manohar to return home.
He finds Suresh and Asha romancing, flies into a rage, and throws Suresh out of the house. What will Parvati do? Will all of her sacrifices have been in vain? Do watch Aurat to find out. The moments of irritation are far outweighed by the humor, sweetness and the lovely songs of the rest of it, plus the last hour is more devoted to the secondary family members than to Parvati and Manohar and they are fun.
They are having a good time and their talents are mostly put to good use; the Gemini production team of SS Balan and SS Vasan seemed good at that. If nothing else, look up the songs—but honestly I recommend this film, surprised as I am by that! Must watch. It does seem so much better than other films of their ilk. Laughed out loud at Parvati holds down three jobs as a maid in order to purchase eyeliner by the boat-load. Nevertheless, in Mother India as in Aurat , Radha makes the most cutting sacrifice a mother can make, killing her own son in protection of the village, and especially of its women.
In Aurat , that death was a necessary tragedy, but when Mehboob Khan remade his film, he freighted that climax with the film's broader message: once Mother India has made the difficult decisions and painful sacrifices, those of her children who remain will be squarely on the road to prosperity.
