Hindustan Hamara poster

Released in 1940, Hindustan Hamara is a notable film directed by Ram Daryani, running about 136 minutes.

What it’s about. Feudal melodrama: Veena (Jamuna), daughter of an exploitative landlord and wife of the drunkard Chunilal (Shivdasani), defies her family and fights for the exploited peasantry. In the process she falls in love with the poor Madhu (Nandrekar). When her evil husband cannot undermine the peasants' unity he commits suicide. The heroine is disinherited by her father, but remains committed to nationalism. The film prominently deploys Gandhian symbols (e.g. the spinning wheel), and contrasts an idyllic notion of erstwhile India to the penury of its people today.

Who’s in it. Hindustan Hamara stars Jamuna Barua as Veena, Nandrekar as Madhu, Padmadevi and Gope, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 9.0/10, Hindustan Hamara sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
