Storyline
The year is 1951, India is a free country, and Hariram lives a poor
lifestyle along with his wife, Bela, and a young son, Rattan. He is in
debt, but continues to borrow money so that he could provide a better
life for his family. On the occasion of Diwali, he borrows some more
money, returns home laden with gifts, fire-crackers, and sweetmeats, and
together they celebrate. That night a snake enters their hut and bites
Bela, killing her, leaving both father and son devastated, so much so
that Hariram takes to alcohol, loses his job, and is unable to re-pay
his loan. His moneylender assaults Rattan, and an enraged Hariram
threatens to kill him. That night the moneylender is killed, and the
Police arrest Hariram, he is tried in court, found guilty, and sentenced
to be hanged. With the help of a pickpocket named Ghasita, Rattan finds
out that his father is innocent, and both set out to travel to Delhi to
meet the Indian Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru so that Hariram
can be freed. ... Written by

Not a particularly great film, but an appreciable effort nonetheless
After watching such
movies as Boot Polish and Jagte Raho, produced by the great Raj Kapoor, I
could not miss Ab Dilli Dur Nahin. The premise was very interesting,
and the film is quite good, but not as good as expected. The film
imparts the journey of Ratan, a little kid who goes on foot to Delhi
(Dilli) to save his father from death. His mother died of a snake bite
and soon afterwards his father was charged with murder and convicted to
death penalty for no fault of his own. After the father is sent to Delhi
to await his death sentence, the kid meets a petty thief who confirms
that at the time of the murder he saw his father sleeping near his
wife's grave. That's when his journey to meet the Indian prime minister
of the time, Jawaharlal Nehru and prove his father's innocence begins.
And he has many obstacles to overcome.
Generally a watchable movie telling the story of hope and struggle, Ab Dilli Dur Nahin was a rather experimental film at the time, and the one who fearlessly invested his money in this project was none other than the great Raj Kapoor. This is actually one of the least famous films he produced. The film's title itself, which is more of a slogan, made me go and watch it. Though it is definitely worth the watch, it's not flawless. I liked the beginning a lot, and I found the portrayal of the family and the couple very convincing and moving. This portion of the film shows how people, despite financial difficulties and hardships, were happy with what they had. Unfortunately the death of the female heroine happens too soon and it's a sad view, and the following proceedings only add to the tragedy.
The film's songs are lovely, but they are so many that at times they just drag the narrative. The director does try to portray the story realistically, but at times the film gets a bit melodramatic and the main conflicts as well as the villains make it look more of a fairy tale. As far as acting is concerned, the film's main protagonist is the kid Master Romi, and he does reasonably well but never well enough. The supporting child actors do much better, for what it's worth. Motilal does very well in his role, while Soluchana Latkar is excellent in her brief appearance. Anwar Hussain makes for an ordinary villain. The film's ending is very sugarcoated and is easy to predict. I thought the movie would have worked better as a children's movie, but it was far too serious. Ab Dilli Dur Nahin may not be a great film, but it has a good concept and it is an altogether appreciable effort.

Ab Dilli Door Nahin (1957)
STARRING Motilal, Sulochana, Master Romi, Anwar Hussain, Yaqub
“Ab
Dilli Door Nahin” — the phrase that became the slogan for reaching the
seat of power in Delhi, the phrase that is used as a symbol of hope —
actually gained more prominence after Raj Kapoor’s R.K Films produced
and Amar Kumar directed the film with this title in 1957. As the film
starring Motilal, Sulochana, Ratan Kumar, Mohan Choti and others begins
in the manner of the usual happy family saga, it seems as if the title
of the film has little relevance to the story, but the second half more
than justifies it.
In brief, it is about a
financially feeble mill worker father Hariram (Motilal), who keeps his
family — loving wife Bela (Sulochana) and son Rattan (Master Romi) —
happy even as the cost of a loan he took from the village’s greedy
moneylender increases. His good days end when his wife dies of a snake
bite and he takes to drinking, loses his job and is charged with murder.
But the actual killer Mukunda Lal (Anwar Hussain) roams scot-free till a
pickpocket Ghaseeta (Yaqub) meets Ratan by chance and tells him that he
saw his drunk father sleeping near his wife’s grave at the time of the
murder. Now the 10-year-old must prove the innocence of his father who
is facing a death sentence. And it is only Independent India’s first
Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who can commute the sentence.
Most of the film is Ratan’s journey to Delhi on foot, and his struggle
to meet the PM, and predictably, his triumph.
The blend
The
film, one of its kind from the RK banner, was experimental in nature
symbolising new India’s hopes and aspirations and a belief that
injustice was a thing of the past. And it blended beautifully with
family values that were the hallmark of the society then. Akhtar Mirza’s
story and dialogues by Muhafiz Hyder and Rajinder Singh Bedi gave ample
space to overriding emotions. Sample these — a loving husband takes a
loan of Rs.30 at an interest of 12 per cent per month to gift his wife a
sari and his son a brightly embellished cap on Diwali. A drunk father
rushes to attend to his lonely son nudging his drinking companions. Or, a
motherless child burns his hand while making rotis. To bring patriotic
fervour to a family scene, the director utilises the festival of lights.
And hence, diyas are placed so as to make India’s map on the courtyard,
around which children from Hariram’s neighbourhood burst firecrackers
and Bela sings “Ye chaman hamara apna hai”.
It is
delightful to see Motilal getting into the skin of a villager, speaking
the local dialect to perfection. India Gate of those days was full of
gigantic trees lining both sides of the road, and the river Yamuna (at
ITO) was cleaner. It is here that one bursts into laughter as Ratan asks
a bald man, ‘where is Darya Ganj?’ Pointing at the Yamuna and his
hairless head, he quips, ‘That is darya, and this is ‘Ganj’!’
An
actual shot of Nehru leaving Teen Murti Bhawan is flashed for a few
seconds to bring credibility to the story of reaching the PM. One is
also amazed at the use of animation in the song “Chun Chun Karti Aayi
Chidiya”. Was our technology that advanced at that time or did RK source
it? The film didn’t do well at the box office. But its lyrics by
Shailendra and Hasrat Jaipuri and music by Dutta Ram became popular. The
two songs besides “Masti Bhara Hai Saman” are still fresh in our minds.
The film undoubtedly celebrates the spirit of courage and togetherness.
Flashback
“I was very
small when the film was released. Keeping the newly independent India’s
new Prime Minister in mind, Raj Kapoor ji wrote the script and persuaded
Nehru ji to work in the film, especially in the last shot where the
child finally meets the PM. Raj ji told Nehru that the film would put
his government on a high pedestal and bring the desired credibility, and
Nehru ji had agreed to work in it. But at the last moment he declined
to work for reasons best known to him. So, Raj ji had to use stock shots
of Nehru. As the whole film was based on the child’s meeting with the
PM which didn’t happen, the film fell flat. Obviously no one could
empathise with it.
