BAIJU BAWRA: 64 YEARS OLD

What I liked about this film:

The music. Naushad is at his classical best here, with gems like the superb Man tadpat hari darshan ko aaj, Mohe bhool gaye saanwariya and Tu Ganga ki mauj main Jamuna ka dhara. The last-named is also a delightful bit of picturisation: a distressed and shy Gauri, caught midstream, with the entire village looking on as Baiju serenades her. Sweet!

Kuldeep Kaur. Gauri is a sweet but rather weepy village girl in Baiju Bawra; Roopmati, on the other hand, is a brave, feisty woman who doesn’t shy away from fighting—yet is mature and sensitive enough to be an object of sympathy. I liked her a lot; much more than Meena Kumari’s Gauri, though Gauri is admittedly very pretty.
