Do Bigha Zamin 'Do Bigha Zamin' is a 1953 film, directed by Bengali film director Bimal Roy and stars Balraj Sahni and Nirupa Roy in lead roles. Known for its socialist theme, the film is a landmark in early parallel cinema and is considered a trend setter. Like most of movies by Bimal Roy, art and commercial cinema are merged to create a movie that is still looked upon as a benchmark and paved way for future cinema makers in the Indian neo-realist movement and the Indian New Wave, which began in the 1950s. |
