Story, Synopsis, Trivia, Dialogues for Aawaz (1956)


Aawaz is a 1956 Indian Bollywood film released on 1956. Sarhadis best-known melodrama drew on Pudovkin and Donskoi-style realism to tell of an oppressive industrialist (Sapru), his trusted foreman, Bhatnagar (N. Hussain) and the lives of Bhattnagars family. The foreman obsessed with his daughter Belas (Kiron) marriage, pretends to have a large sum set aside to secure her future. When the father of her fiance, Ashok (R. Kumar), claims a large dowry, Bhatnagar is distraught. He loses his job and dies of the shock. His son Kishen (Velani), who resented that money had allegdely been saved for his sister, now discovers that there is no money and, in a drunken moment, accuses his own wife Jamuna (Jaywant) of having stolen the cash. Desperate to raise the dowry, Jamuna does odd jobs and falls into the clutches of the old industrialist who had sacked her father. The man promises to give her the money in exchange for sex. She takes the money and then commits suicide. The film contains many references Soviet film styles, including the heavy-handed use of low and high angles, e.g. the shots of the overcoat-wearing Banke (A. Hussain), a figure representing the organised proletrait (esp. in the militant workers song Araram tararam duniya ke kaise kaise gam) and the family self-appointed protector. The only print currently avilable has been reconstructed from fragments of original prints. [Source: Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema] Check out this page for more updates on Aawaz.
