Anupama

A man loses his wife when she gives birth. A daughter is left behind. The man holds the child responsible for the death. He is cold toward her. Uma grows up a silent girl. She struggles to say what she feels. Nobody at home gives her a voice. Her father is wealthy and hard. He settles his daughter’s life himself. One day Uma meets Ashok. Ashok is a poet who gets by with difficulty. He comes to her with patience. The girl slowly begins to speak. She learns to make her own decisions. The film puts that opening at its centre. Dharmendra and Sharmila Tagore appear in the one hundred forty eight minute film, an Indian production Hrishikesh Mukherjee finished in 1966.
