Product Description

Starring: NARGIS, SUNIL DUTT, RAJENDRA KUMAR, RAJ KUMARSynopsis: From India, the cradle of the Gods, comes this epic drama of an Indian mother, the nucleus round which revolves the tradition and culture of the ages in this ancient land. In India, every woman is an integral part of a man. With marriage she merges her individuality into her husband's and both together form a single entity in society. One without the other is but half the story of an eternal harmony going beyond a single birth and through seven births as the Indian scriptures say. A woman's marriage is thus an eternal spiritual bond and in her absolute dedication to her husband, her single prayer is to die in the presence of her husband and be carried out by him even as a bride in death. To this eternal Indian woman, the home is her temple, the husband her god, the children his blessings and the land her great mother. This a story of one such Indian woman, a supreme symbol of millions of mothers that make this ancient land Mother India.

Vinod K Puri

A Classic of Indian Films

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

The classic Mother India was a remake of Aurat also made by director Mehboob. Yet the movie cast brilliantly with Nargis, new comer Raaj Kumar, Sunil Dutt and Rajinder Kumar. That Nargis was only twenty eight years old when she acted as the mother of grown up sons Birju ( Sunil Dutt) and Rajinder Kumar is astonishing. The melodrama depicting the sad life of exploited small time farmer in rural India was sad. Raaj Kumar's portrayal of Nargis' husband presented a new style of acting, dignified, restrained and tragic. His resonant voice was an effective instrument which he used in so many later films. Color photography, music, acting and dialogues were all of a very high calibre at the time( late fifties). That Nargis later married Sunil Dutt surprised many movie fans in India. But she remained steadfast in the marriage was in character of this great actress who died young.

Mother India

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2012

This movie is a good culture study that follows the life of a pretty village woman who is married off in an arranged marriage. The families involved are common folk and farmers. The new couple have to live in the mother-in-law's house and they all struggle to make ends meet. The mother-in-law has borrowed a great deal from the local money lender to pull off the (for them) lavish wedding. Trouble soon starts between the family and the money lender. As the woman has more children, the film depicts family life in a poor farming family. Their troubles continue with bad weather, flooding, bad luck on the farm, and continuing problems with the money lender. Bad luck strikes the family numerous times, but the brave woman continues to struggle. The title seems to project the struggles of the poor farmers of India with the struggles of the newly minted nation of India itself. And in the end to survive.

This film takes the Westerner out of their comfort zone and shows that even the poor in America are rich compared to many of the poor in the third world.

Nargis is wonderful in this movie. It shows the hope and loss in a life. What is also shows is life is not better for the villagers in India now as it was then. The hope shown is hope lost in today's reality. However for any movies buff who watches the 1940s US movies we are a lost people too. So much potential for both our countries that to see these movies and see the now reality we are much closer to the reality of " Brazil" ( the movie) than any hopeful future shown in this movie. It is well worth watching and we all know the plight of Women in India is no better today. Just as here only a few rich women get the dream.

This edition is no longer available...

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2013

Here's what I heard from the vendor I made a purchase from: "We would like to inform you that the Time media has closed down long time back and that version is not available in the market."

(What I received was a different transfer than the Eros edition -- cleaner but unfortunately the blacks had apparently faded to red in the source material. The DVD had a physical defect too. But in any case I do not know how that relates to the edition listed here by Time Media.)

So happy with the purchase of this video. The quality of the dvd is excellent; the color is satisfactory; the English subtitles were very welcome since no one in my family speaks Hindi. Overall, thank you so much for this product. Money well spent.

Poor, abridged transfer with Annoying Logo defacing the video

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is an important film, which deserves a competent restoration, plus commentaries, which would be especially helpful for those with limited knowledge of the cultural and historical context of the film.

Major technical issues
- 130 min. long. vs 2:47 for the full version on Amazon Prime video (via Eros subscription)
- VERY ANNOYING Shiboob logo in the lower right hand corner - displayed throughout
- What looks like camera shake was probably a problem with a crappy transfer to DVD
- Sound quality is also poor
- There are some very awkward cuts and cutoffs
- No English translations of song lyrics
- as presented, scene sequences don't follow logically from previous scene sequences
- pan shots are very blurry - likely another problem from a poor transfer, since other films from 1957 don't have this problem.

DON'T BUY THIS! If you are interested in the film, find a good edition of it.

As an Indian have seen it many times. I love the film. The story of a Mothers sacrifice takes it's toll but the mother doesn't give up. I actually bought this DVD for a English friend who wanted to see the film after telling him the story. He loves it too.
