Lata - Nagri Nagri Dware Dware - Mother India [1957]

[philipposathina]

In the -60's, started with MOTHER INDIA, indian movies became very popular in Greece. The song "duniya main hum aaye" was adapted, with greek lyrics, and is still considered to be an all time classic in my country. I was too young and could'nt understand much, but i clearly remember how much i was impressed by the colours, the backset, the acting and singing and acting in these films. Like a fairytale, though scary sometimes...

@shawneechief - lucky you. I too saw this movie in a Greek cinema on Park Ave in Montreal, but I don't really understand Hindi and definitely do not read Greek, but I still enjoyed the movie.

@jajakumar - excellent movie and mothers still have that instinct to struggle for their children and they always will, even if they don't put it in the movies anymore. It is just instinctive.

I remember my father loved this song and he was a soldier and he was paralyzed for 29 years.. And this song makes me cry at times.

One of the classic movies of the fifties. I love this film. Lata Mangeshkar and Late Naushad Sahib produced some awesome memories which are evergreen. Who can forget the accidental love between Nargis and Sunil Dutt. That forced them to get married. Her role in this film was marvelous. I would consider Mother India her best movie. I am sure that the future generations would remember Nargis because of her immortal role. God bless the entire unit of this film.(30th December 2010)

[yuanyuanyuanyin]

@somehem - You are most welcome, my dear friend .

[shawneechief]

Nargis was much loved by Greeks throughout the sixties. That when I caught this movie in Greek cinema in Melbourne. My ability to read the Greek subtitles gave me access to what became a lasting joy.

[jajakumar]

Dear Yuan, thank you for uploading this. I saw this film when I was a young boy and it seeing it again after 50 years evokes a lot of memories and emotions. What a wonderful film that a mother's instinct to struggle for her children is beautifully reflected. Regretfully we do not see such memorable films these days.

Thank you for your effort in bringing such memories and emotions to all of us.

[yuanyuanyuanyin]

@jajakumar - You are most welcome, my dear friend and thank you for your kind words.

[sarbjitmistry]

Most of India, especially my generation and before have watched this movie. It is a classic and yes it is amazing!!

[yuanyuanyuanyin]

@sarbjitmistry - This is one of the films that should be watched by all the sub continent people, regardless of nationality and the age, according to my sincere opinion.

Especially the younger generation, just to get the glimpse of the hard life [among many other things] our forefathers have under gone not so long ago!

Thank you, my friend.

[errsira]

o m god dear goood so great movie so great akctris

[kenyandoogoo]

Umeshway Sir! The reason why we all cry when we hear these songs from these times, is because there was something unique then, and that does not exist now, except maybe in the heart of some old monk living in a mountain cave! These lyrics, these words were written from the heart and therefore will affect hearts directly. Bravo!

[yuanyuanyuanyin]

Thanks you my friend for your very nice and "rare" comment. Take care.

[SamllWonda]

Thanks for the Thanks yuanyuanyuanyin - Isn't there a great scene & song when they are traveling by elephant to the wedding - or is this another Movie - I just remember that sweeping scene of the elephants &

[yuanyuanyuanyin]

Right now I do not have an idea. Can some one help please? Thank you.

[SamllWonda]

I'm confusing it with the scene actually with the bullocks, not elephants (that IS another Movie... which one???) That is an amazing scene with the girls & men racing each other on the bullocks, a wonder no one was injured...

[yuanyuanyuanyin]

I have posted another song from Mother India. "Shamshad Begum - Pi Ke Ghar Aaj Pyari Dulhaniya Chali - Mother India [1957]" and there is a similar scene there.

Please watch and let me know. Thanks.

[SamllWonda]

Thanks for posting it as I don't even have a TV so can't even watch this on video... I'm not Indian but think this is a great film & love this song, among others from this movie - would love for it to be remastered to improve quality...

[yuanyuanyuanyin]

Thank you for the nice comment, my friend.

[SamllWonda]

The elephants all bedecked in their finery & the girls so beautiful in their wedding saris - though I suspect that was a different movie entirely?? Do you have a suggestion?

[umeshway]

I cry when I hear this song....Although I was not born in that generation...I was just few months old baby when this movie was released. Why I feel this song I don't know... its a great song from Lata Mangeshar.

[bombay63]

That was such a great movie.and was my dad & mom`s favorite movie.
