The film released in 1976 and the music of this film was super hit and it is very popular to this day. The success that eluded him during his lifetime was only destined to be his after his death.

Taatarstan is an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation, which is situated along the banks of the River Volga, and to the west of the Ural Mountains. Historically, this is a small kingdom that was absorbed into the USSR after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, as an autonomous republic. The original inhabitants, called the Tataar or Taatari people, belong to the ethnic Taatar group from the old Turkistan (modern day Turkey), who spread out over a large part of East Europe in the eighth century AD.

The haunting image of a worn-out, white bearded face, with lines of age alluding to maybe a century of anguish, haltingly climbing down the service staircase in the deserted studio, wanting to reach the chair with ‘Director’ imprinted on its back. Or the vision of a decrepit man standing in the theatre doorway, his hands out flung across the entrance, and the sharp lighting from behind giving an impression of a phoenix rising from the ashes. These two celluloid illustrations are probably two of a handful of very gripping, compelling and spellbinding images that have left a lasting imprint on the minds of the cinema viewers and more importantly, a telling statement that redefined the very cultural fabric of the society and of film making itself.

A title like “Badi Bahu” (1951)suggests that the movie must be all about self sacrificing lead female character, and that may not send people like me to eagerly look forward to watch the movie. Not by a long shot !
