“Ek Hi Raasta” (1956) was a heart warming movie, going by the songs of this movie. Meena Kumari, who later became known for playing tragedy roles, played a happy character in this movie. Sunil Dutt played her husband and Daisy Irani played their kid. I had earlier posted a nice song from this movie viz “chali gori pi ke milan ko chali”.
