Bharosa 1940

Bharosa is a 1940 Indian Bollywood social film released on 1940. The film is directed by Sohrab Modi.
"BHAROSA" is a tale of a sin both hideous and charming. When man is strong, sin is hideous. When he is weak, it becomes charming. When he is defeated, it burdens his soul with its crushing weight. And that is not all. Some times such far-reaching are the poisonous effects of sin that they stagger human imagination. And yet man sins because he is human and prone to err. . The hero of our story is too just human and no more. Goaded by circumstances and unable to resist temptation he sins. And then a thousand repentances, millions of tears, innumerable penances, but they are of no avail. Once the seed of sin is sown, he must reap the fruit, is the Law of Destiny. Nay, more. His children must also suffer according to the Biblical Maximum:- "Sins of fathers shall be visited on their children". . Gyan and Rasik were great friends. They trusted each other with uncommon faith. That is why no one was surprised when Gyan, leaving for Africa on some business, decided to leave his young and beautiful wife, Shobha with Rasik. He didnot want Shobha to return to the unhealthy climate of Africa, which was patricularly damaging to her health. Rambha, Rasiks wife and Shobhas friend, agreed with Gyan and insisted on Shobha remaining with them. Rasik saw danger in this. He could not tell them that it was too dangerous. How could he ? from the day he had seen Shobha, he admired her silently but with rare devotion and consuming passion. It was only the presence of Gyan and the thought of the tremendous faith-bharosa-he had in him which had kept him steady. He was afraid that in his absence he might stumble and fall and thus prove unfaithful. . But the course of Destiny was set. A tragic struggle and a grim trial waited him. He steeled himself and with all the strength at his command resisted. It was a desperate struggle and his strength of resistance was put to greater trial when one day his wife Rambha left for her parents home. Now with the absence of his wife the path to the intoxicated passion lay open and unguarded. Lonely, tired and overwhelmed with the weight of continous struggle, his emotions growing wilder, he allowed himself to be dragged to the path of least resistance and gave the struggle. Little did he know that hidden in the dark future lay a deadendwhence there would be no turning back. Poor Rasik! He could not stand up to the trial any more and in one fateful moment of a terrible nightmare he sinned dragging with him unfortunate Shobha. Then followed the dawn of biting and remorseful concciousness. But they were helpless. Past is immortal. The terrible seed of sin was sown and the harvest must be raped at its proper time. . Days, weeks and months passed. Their moment of sin flowered into an innocent and tender child-Indira. In the meantime Gyan returned from Africa. Good-natured and unsuspecting he showered all his love on the little child, caressing her as a loving father least knowing what had happened behing his back. He had unflinching faith-bharosa- in Rasik and loved him passionately. Noticing a growing attachment between Indira and Madan, Rasiks son, he announced his intention of marrying them when grown-up thus cementing their friendship with ties relationship. Rasik and Shobha, were dumb-founded. How can it happen the marriage of Madan with Indira? But how to prevent it? Unable to bear the pangs of sin any longer Shobha in a mad moment decided to strangle little Indira. [Source: Booklet] Check out this page for more updates on Bharosa.
