|
An ill fated film that could have been a major hit .The release was due
on the
|
|
sixteenth day of August, 1946, that is
DIRECT ACTION DAY
of Mr H.S.Suhrawardy-
|
|
the prolonged
communal riots and mass killings of unprotected
|
|
civilians that followed marred the prospects of the film which was
dumped in
|
|
garbage.
KANANs
songs
or for that matter all the songs from the film remain
|
|
a
delight even today
