Naya Daur is a classic B R Chopra movie with a great message in it. The movie is about race of tanga(horse cart) with a bus. I think this is one of the best performances of dilip kumar. The scene in which dilip kumar convinces the rival villagers to allow them to pass road throug their place is my favorite and amaazingly done by great dilip kumar.I rate this movie as one of the best movies of all time and i wonder why it was not nominated for foreign language oscar....
This movie is an inspiration to me and it is to all Indians, it really generates national spirit in every Indian, and should be inspire people world over, how we can build our nation.
As till date India still lives in the villages, development of villages, can been down without burdening on the government. People can change there lives with Sramdan, if all the citizens unite together and develop our motherland living all the differences,our nation will become one of the richest nations. So let us do it.
The song Saathi Hatth Badhan.... gives lot energy. This movie is see it again and again movie.
Vande Mataram!!!

'Naya Daur' literally meaning a New Road - is a fine story of a young village man who wants to challenge onslaught of machines in his daily life by building a new road in his village. B.R. Chopra has beautifully portrayed this story of the triumph of the human spirit when pitted against seemingly insurmountable odds. The acting performance is superb and natural - from Dilp Kumar and Vaijayanimala down to the extras. O.P. Nayyar's evergreen music is haunting even today and never seems out of place in the whole movie.
Even in this 'naya daur' of high technology, this movie retains a perennial charm that comes only from honest and impassioned film-making. But above all, it serves as a gentle reminder that the most intricate computer will always be the human brain, and that man is the greatest machine that will be ever made.

Naya Daur is a complete movie with all elements of human sentiments and emotions. It had a great message delivered to viewers. The message of imbibing humanity in our lives. Naya Daur means 'New Race' which is actually about the competition between Man vs Machine. Such script could be expected only from European production esp in 1950s. BR Chopra has made this a pathbreaking original film in Bollywood which is irreplaceable by any other. It's a masterpiece movie with top notch technicals and gripping narration that shouldn't be missed. Recommended for all who want to experience Bollywood.
It's fast paced narratives takes you to a rural area of India where people work and sweat, lives a satisfied life with all sorts of basic amenities being fulfilled. Then appears the antagony, who thought of changing this scenario, by separating satisfaction from human lives through various modern innovations. The reasons too are rightly shown ie the greed of money instead of human welfare. A salute to the writer who thought this idea so perfectly in 1950s, which is and still will be relevant in decades to come. Various human characters like a passionate lover, a social hero, sibling and family relationships and many interfere in this classic tale of new race. Then comes the jealousy, enemity, forgiveness, understanding and finally unity. The climax is happily ended with the message of unity, enlightening us about humanity and its values. A truly entertaining but much needed film for visual example of inculcating human values. Enough of the storyline here though, but will suggest the reader of the review to just watch it for a great visual experience.
The storyline, the performance and the songs are enough to keep you seated, perhaps make you ponder about the greatness of this film. Nothing is nonsensical in it, rather will have a lasting positive impact on your mind. A family film with scenes that you should nothing to worry about. Dilip Kumar Sir is just the true social hero of rural village, young enough to take burden and smart enough to challenge authority. He is the bright point of it, next to the great story chosen. Lastly Johnny walker with his charming smile makes new innovation in societal dealings is also fun to watch.
Naya Daur is ahead of its time, which proved that advancement in thought was always there in India. It is a kind of trend-setter film that has depicted those universal concerns which has been affecting human values, esp from Europe to all places of the world. It is great film that needs to be popularised and revoted to atleast 8.9 with a million votes. 7.9/10 is not justified for such a great movie. It will be an all time cinematic masterpiece. A 100 on a scale of 100.

- TriviaInitially B.R.Chopra had signed Madhubala to play the female lead. She even completed a ten-day shooting schedule in Bombay. Subsequently when the unit was to move to an out-of-town shooting location (Bhopal) Madhubala's father, Ataullah Khan, refused to let her go citing health reasons. In actuality he didn't want to encourage the budding romance between Madhubala and Dilip Kumar, the male lead. When repeated reasoning failed to change Ataullah Khan's decision, B.R.Chopra dropped Madhubala and cast Vyjantimala instead. Ataullah Khan took the matter to court and Chopra was able to prove that the shooting in Bhopal was essential to the film. But the judgment had to wait till the movie was completed.
