“Waaman Avtaar” (1955) is one of those B grade mythological/religious movies that the mainstream movie goers did not patronise. The movie may not have been a big hit, but I guess that a movie made on such shoe string budget can always earn a small and tidy profit for its makers.

1971 was a year when old order was changing, giving way to new. Many newcomers made their first appearances in this year or thereabouts. Most of them fell by the wayside, but a few of them managed to hold on and later they established themselves in the industry.
