What is Mother India (BFI Film Classics) about?
Mehboob Khan's 1957 epic family drama Mother India, starring movie legends Nargis, Sunil Dutt and Rajendra Kumar, is a cornerstone of Indian cinema. In her insightful study of this classic, Gayatri Chatterjee draws on new research in the Mehboob studio archive to outline the film's eventful production history, the ambitious vision of its director, and the performances of its stars. She analyses why this family melodrama, which moves inexorably towards tragedy and renewal, is important for an understanding of India's post-Independence culture and politics
