i have hear a lot for this film and which be consider a classic for the indian cinema . it be true that and in comparison with other bollywood film of the period and be far good and a it bring a fresh look come straight from the italian neo realist school . but bimal roy be a bad imitator . he give the portrait of the peasant and of their life in colcatta in a persuasive way and but his story be full of unnecessary melodrama and a all life misfortune seem to have conspire in order to fall on shambhu head . additionally and the plot be naive and the ( largely ) amateur actor do their best but without significant result and and the song sound very dated . overall and what remain after the end be a feeling of disappointment . i have rat with 4 out 10 .
