Naya Sansar 1941

Naya Sansar is a 1941 Indian Bollywood social film released on 1941. The film is directed by N. R. Acharya.

The title translates as "New World", which is the name of a newspaper in this story set in the world of Indian newspapers. Puran, a reporter, becomes the object of Asha's affections when she joins the paper. When the editor seems to be weakening the paper's former radical stance, and colluding with the corrupt Dhaniram, Puran leaves and founds New World, but eventually the editor sees his mistake, and re-employs the couple on the once again radical paper.

Although S. Mukherjees production team (e.g. Gyan Mukherjee, Shahid Latif) were involved, authorship for this film is usually credited to Abbas. It was his first major film work, in which he used his experiences as a journalist to create the character of the reporter Puran (A.Kumar). Premchand (Mubarak), fearless editor of the radical newspaper Sansar, loves Asha (Renuka Devi), an orphan raised by his family. She joins the paper and falls for its ace reporter, the cynical Puran, yet she feels bound to accept her benefactors marriage proposal. When the editor dilutes his radicalism and starts negotiating with the corrupt Dhaniram, Puran leaves and produces a boarsheet called Naya Sansar (New World). The editor recognises his mistake, gives his blessing to the couple and even re-employs Puran, promising to stick to his radical stance. There are numerous dances composed and performed by Azoorie promoting solidarity and against Untouchability. Abbas later named his film production unit Naya Sansar Films and made all his film under the banner. [Source: Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema] Check out this page for more updates on Naya Sansar.
