Pukar (1939)

Review by Umar Mansoor Bajwa

Pukar

10/10

The Epitome of Imperial Justice

Seldom has there been a movie so captivatingly crafted, especially in the hey days of Indian Cinema. Seldom has a person (Sohrab Modi) acted, directed and produced such a remarkable piece of motion picture. Seldom is a film made which conjoins a powerful depiction of historical events bred with impeccable force of exemplary justice. Seldom are the dialogs laden with such immense logic and reasoning and lastly, seldom has a movie posted such acclaim and noble fame that it is said that after the release of this movie, the teachers/head masters of secondary and high schools in British India advised their students to watch this Gem of a Film which enumerates priceless moral lesson.

This black and white film with simple, austere but penetrating and cerebral depiction of some of the very subtle and forceful human values carries the enduring significance and substance which is not even remotely present in the tawdry, vulgar and temporal films which have swamped Bollywood, these days.
