Review :

Mehboob makes Sajid "Son of India"

In stylishly modernized India, spoiled young Kumkum (as Kamla) sings and dances in her father's beautifully furnished home. She intends to marry handsome Kamaljit (as Kishore), but her father doesn't approve. In fact, Mr. Kamaljit is associated with crooked businessman and politician Jayant (as J.B.). The men are after Ms. Kumkum's money. Kumkum and Kamaljit are happy for a little while, and bear cute "Son of India" Sajid Khan (as Gopal). In order to get Kumkum's family wealth, and employ Kamaljit in his shady dealings, Mr. Jayant threatens to kidnap and/or kill young Sajid...

To protect son Sajid, Kumkum secrets him in a religious boarding house. Her father becomes an alcoholic. Her husband Kamaljit won't cooperate with Jayant, and becomes homeless. When Kumkum becomes ill, Sajid's tuition fees are not paid. Ashamed, the young lad leaves the boarding house, penniless. Sajid relies on God's help as he meets street people and struggles to survive. On the homeless circuit, Sajid and Kamaljit are coincidently accused of pick-pocketing the same wallet. They are looking for each other, but do not know they are father and son. Meanwhile, Jayant hunts Sajid...

This was an unofficial follow-up to director Mehboob Khan's immensely popular "Mother India" (1957). That film benefited from a strong lead performance from Nargis, and a storyline viewers identified with. "Son of India" was not as successful. But it did help make Sajid the country's number one son in the 1960s, in the same way "Mother India" Nargis represented the country's ideal mother. The characters within the films are not related, but do make generational cultural connections. Some themes and story-telling techniques are evident in both. The unusual style became known as "Bollywood".

Sajid, who had a featured role in "Mother India", doesn't have either the script or acting skills of Nargis, but makes an endearing "Son of India". The production values are high, and the songs are very good - especially children's classic "Nanna Munna Rahi Hoon". Sajid became an American "teen idol" in the late 1960s due to his appearance with Jay North in their "Maya" movie and TV series. He was the adopted son of director Mehboob Khan. Mr. Kahn received another nomination as "Best Director" for "Son of India", which turned out to be his last film. Previously, Kahn won the award for "Mother India".
