Jawab 1942

Jawab is a 1942 Indian Bollywood social film released on 1942. The film is directed by Pramathesh Barua.
Baruas last major film continues his concern with the fortunes of an aimless feudal upper class (Devdas, 1935; Mukti, 1937). The rich, self-absorbed and, to his family, deranged Manoj (Barua) is sent to his future father-in-law for a rest cure. However, he loses his way and is offered shelter by a railway station-master with whose daughter he falls in love. The poor, earthy and worldly-wise Meena (Khan Devi) is contrasted with the heros rich fianceee Raba (Jamuna) and the eventual confrontation between the two women provides the justificatio for Manojs decision to marry the former. The film established Murlidhar Chatterjees new company as one of the foremost producers of socials in Bengali cinema. The Hindi version included classic Kanan Devi numbers such as Toofal Mail and Kuch yaad rahe to sun kar jaa. [Source: Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema] Check out this page for more updates on Jawab.
