This epic of Indian womanhood has been reissued constantly since its hugely successful opening run, remaining one of the most respected and loved films of the nation's cinema. A color remake of 1940's Aurat (by the same director), the film portrays the great struggles of an Indian mother whose tragedies take on a mythic quality. Mother India was also the first Indian film to be nominated for an Oscar in the Best Foreign Film category. In Hindi with English subtitles.
