3 movies that confirm Balraj Sahni is the best in Bollywood
Balraj Sahni is the most loved actor of B-town. He is an
actor that gave the most amazing performances on the silver screen. His
work is applauded by all, and all film buffs and enthusiasts know who he was
and what his work meant for the film industry.
Over the years a lot of actors including Amitabh Bachchanand Aamir Khan have appreciated his work and sung accolades of his work but
none of them have got the impact or fan connect that Balraj Sahni enjoys till
this day. His work was class apart and if you pick 3, 5, 10 or more films of
this great actor, you would find it difficult to get a flaw in his work. No
matter how many movies we talk about nothing matches the legend and his work.
In this article, I talk about 3 movies that confirm why
Balraj Sahni is a legend:
#3 Waqt
With an ensemble cast including Sunil Dutt, Raj Kumar,
Shashi Kapoor, Sadhana, Balraj Sahni, Madan Puri, Sharmila Tagore, Achala
Sachdev and Rehman this movie is a classic that was produced by B. R. Chopra.
The movie got the top spot during 1965 box office collection.
The story revolved
around a man whose life turns upside down in a matter of moments due to an
earthquake and how he lives his life through hardships to finally meet his
children.
The work by Balraj Sir will give you goose bumps.
#2 Do Bigha Zamin
Do Bigha Zamin is directed by Bimal Roy and the story revolves around a
farmer, Shambu Mahato, who lives with his wife Parvati and son Kanhaiya in a small village that has been hit badly by
a famine. After years of drought, the region finally gets rain, leading the
farmers to rejoice.
Shambu owns two bighas of land, which is the only means of
livelihood for the whole family. The local zamindar (landlord) Thakur Harnam
Singh partners with some city businessmen to construct a mill on his large
parcel of land, which in return would bring them profit and bring prosperity to
the village. The only problem is that in the middle of Harnam singh's land lie
Shambu's meager two bighas of land.
The trials and tribulations of what goes around is the best thing you will
see on screen and Balraj Sir's performance will leave you spellbound.
#1 Garm Hawa
Arguably the best movie about
India’s Independence and the troubles people went through, the movie is also
the best performance by any actor in a movie. There are performers, there are
actors, and then there’s Balraj Sahni. Nothing matches to his work that is
showcasing the feelings of a man who is losing things but is still trying to
keep things intact.
The loss of her daughter, the son being unemployed and brother
leaving India has a lot of emotions, but the great legend keeps it so simple
yet so powerful at the same time.
If you still haven’t watched
this, please do, or you would miss out on brilliance.
