Super hit old classic movie Jagriti (1954)
Synopsis: JAGRITI is the simple story of a problem child who is reformed by his disabled friend and an able hostel superintendent, with love and emotion.

The film is centered on a stubborn, badly behaved rich boy, Ajay (Raj Kumar Gupta). Though doted upon by his mother and grandfather he is a problem child. The grandfather sends Ajay to a boarding school. Ajay refuses to reform constantly getting into trouble with the authorities including the kindly new superintendent Shekhar (Abhi Bhattacharya).

However he befriends a cripple boy Shakti (Rattan Kumar) who urges him to become good. Shekhar wins the children and teachers over with his unorthodox methods as he teaches the boys about life and about our great countrys heritage but Ajay stubbornly refuses to toe the line. Finally he attempts to leave the hostel. Shakti trying to stop him is run over by a vehicle in a horrific accident. Ajay realizing that he is to blame for Shaktis death turns from the notorious problematic child to a reformed studious student. He comes first in academics as well as sports. Shekhar methods of teaching wins the approval by the education board and he leaves the hostel to spread his message elsewhere...

  • this is a nice classical children's film. i saw it when i was a child. it is as relevant 2day as was 50 yrs ago. the nature does not change. child will always be child, energetic, mischievious and mindful.and there is lot of in this film, the softness of love, patriotism, comedy, the lap of mother nature and much more. the film must be shown in every school.

    

  • This is also fine but why people still don't want to go for higher education, because the curiosity to do something new and innovative is still missing at the basic level - still we don't have any respect for greenery and water which is not taught in our schools in an effective manner that people apply it when they come out of it.

  • This movie still is relevant in the current education system wherein kids are now although been taught through modern methods of learning but still missing the touch to bring in much creativity and innovation in it. Still the education system flows in the direction going where we will just get a good job and earn some good money. Earlier it was government jobs, now it's IT.
