Story


Shobha is a 1954 Indian Bollywood social film released on 1954. The film is directed by Niren Lahiri.
The story deals with a poor and suffering woman, Shobha, whose children are sick and starving and whose husband Damodar has dedicated his life to "ganja", a drug that gives colourful dreams in a colourles life. Damodar has a young widowed daughter Lalana, a younger daughter Chhalana, a young bed-ridden son Madho and an aged sister, in addition to his gentle wife. He has to feed all these mouths on thirty rupees which he earns every month as an employee of a local Zamindar. Damodar makes his plight worse by squandering all his salary on "ganja and the harlot Champa. He is too buty with his pastimes to bother about his family with the result that the family lives constantly under the grim shadow of suffering and starvation. Shobha sells everything she has and is occasionally helped by a noble but apprently ecentric young man called Anand. But the family marches fast towards utter destitution. . When the time comes for Damodar to realize his mistakes, he quietly leaves the house in shame. The elder widowed daughter Lalana, broken under the suffering, tries to commit suicide but is hauled out of the river by Surendranath, a young rich zamindar, who later marries her. Lalana now sends her first money order of hundred rupees to her mother But when the postman knocks at Shobhas door, she no longer feels the need of money because in the meantime Chhalan has been married off with the help of the kind Anand, Madho has died without food or medicine and Damodar has been reduced to almost a mad person wandering about the village aimlessly. . Since the money order was sent by Lalana under an assumed name, Shobha sends Ananad to trace the remitter and return the money. This results Anand discovering Lalana happily married to Surendranath. Hearing the news of her brothers death from Anand, Lalana rushes to her mothers home along with her husband but only reaches in time to find Shobha breathing her last moment. The picture ends tragically because the awaited good days come too later to the distressed family. [Source: Filmindia 54] Check out this page for more updates on Shobha.
