Roti - 1942 - Chandramohan, Sheikh Mukhtar, Sitara Devi

Roti, 1942 Director: Mehboob Khan Music: Anil Biswas Lyrics: Hazarat Arzu, Safdar Aah Sitapuri Cast: Chandramohan, Sheikh Mukhtar, Sitara Devi, Akhtari Faizabadi, Ashraf Khan Roti was inspired by German Expressionism, and is a real critique of Indian society with prophetic insight. It deals with two models - one of a millionaire, possessed by money and power in an industrial civilisation, the other of a tribal couple living in a primeval state of nature. The millionaire is saved by the couple after an air crash, the tribal couple emigrate to the city, do not find happiness and return. The millionaire is ruined in the city, and tries futilely to find salvation among the tribals. Converted from a VCD provided by memsaab. Translation by Raja. Thanks to you both.
