The movie “Yaadein” (1964) was as off beat a movie as any movie could be. The movie was shot almost exclusively on one set and with only one actor. This movie was made by Sunil Dutt under his home banner called Ajanta Arts productions Sunil Dutt himself was the sole actor of this movie.

The movie, Yaadein (1964), is an Ajanta Arts production directed by Sunil Dutt. This movie is a superlative theatrical experience, and one of its kind, at least in the era to which it belonged. This movie is a very daring experimental endeavor created by an actor/producer/director of mainline cinema, for the mainline audience. And yet it is an off-beat movie, of the first water. And believe me, nothing can get more off beat than this.

In Indian mythology, viz Mahabharata, Subhadra was the sister of Lord Krishna and she got married to Krishna’s dear friend Arjun. There have been many Hindi movies about Krishna and about Arjun, but to the best of my knowledge, there has been only one movie on Subhadra.

I was aware of a movie called “Do Phool” (1973) but it now I have come to know that there was another movie of this name in 1958. This movie “Do Phool”(1958) is far more obscure that its 1973 namesake. This movie was obviously a B grade movie with no saleable stars in it.
