Baghban

The film follows Saroop, portrayed by B. Nandrekar, who renounces worldly pleasures after the influence of a sadhu. His perspective shifts dramatically after he is imprisoned and interacts with fellow convicts. During his time in prison, he meets Durga, played by Bimala Kumari, the daughter of the superintendent, who holds a complex past involving a child marriage.

As the story unfolds, Saroop's connection to Durga becomes central to the plot. On the day of Durga's wedding to Ranjit, portrayed by K.N. Singh, it is revealed that Saroop is her long-lost husband. This twist adds layers to the film's exploration of relationships and societal norms, making it a significant piece of cinema from the late 1930s.
