Durga is a 1939 Indian Bollywood social film released on Jan 01, 1939. The film is directed by Franz Osten, music composed by Saraswati Devi.
Rural melodrama about Durga (Devika Rani), an adolescent child of nature, living with her aged mother Heera. Unable to get the medicine required to prevent her mothers death, one misfortune after another befalls the heroine in spite of the sympathies of the newly arrived village doctor, Jawahar (Shukul). In the absense of Niranjan Pal, the studios main scenarist and authro of its best known rural dramas (Acchut Kanya, Janamabhoomi, both 1936), the tale reduces itself to a purely familial narrative. It is nevertheless a key production in Devika Ranis self-projection of urbane charm clothed in primal innocence. Osten followed it with Leela Chitiniss first big film, Kangan (1939). Wadkar was promoted to lead actress again opposite Shukul in in her next big film, Navjeevan (1939). [Source: Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema] Check out this page for more updates on Durga.
