Do Ankhen Baraah Haath

Nostalgia :
"Do Ankhen Baraah Haath" : Its a 1957 classic made by the legend V. Shantaram.
I haven't had the opportunity to watch the movie in school days. However, I watched it during its 2nd and 3rd runs. I watched the movie today once again thanks to DD National who telecast the movie this noon.
V. Shantaram himself acted in the main role. The story is about a progressive reform-minded young warden gets permission to take six surly murderers from prison to a dilapidated country farm, to rehabilitate it and themselves through hard work and kindly guidance.
It is considered one of the classics of Hindi cinema and is based on humanistic psychology. It won a Silver Bear at the 8th Berlin International Film Festival and was the first Indian film to win Golden Globe Award in the category Samuel Goldwyn Award. The film is also remembered for its song, Aye maalik tere bande hum, sung by Lata Mangeshkar and written by Bharat Vyas.
The film was inspired by the story of an 'open prison' experiment Swatantrapur in the princely state of Aundh near Satara. Indiatimes Movies ranked the movie amongst the Top 25 Must See Bollywood Films. During filming V. Shantaram fought with a bull and injured an eye, though his eyesight survived which again inspired him to make another classic 'Navrang'/
