Story, Synopsis, Trivia, Dialogues for Manzil (1936)
Manzil is a 1936 Indian Bollywood social film released on Jan 01, 1936. The film is directed by Pramathesh Barua, music composed by Pankaj Kumar Mallick.
The poor but educated Mahim and his childhood friend, the rich but conservative Suresh, both fall in love with the same woman, the liberated Achala. Mahim marries her and they move to a village but she cannot forget Suresh. Her smouldering unhappiness takes the form of a resentment towards the orphaned Mrinal, raised by Mahims father, and receives a dramatically visual embodiment when their house burn. Mahim falls ill, is resued by Suresh and nursed back to health by Achala. On a train (a metaphor for the irreversibly linear course of life) to a health-resort where Mahim is supposed to convalesce, Suresh on a rainswept right gives into temptation and elopes with Achala. At the end of the film, there is a dubious reconciliation as Achala is shown following Mahim down a dark road. Much of the film contrasts Mahims good traditionalism with Saratchandras barely concealed hostility towards Achalas liberated Brahmo Samaj upbringing, which is eventually punished.
