Criticism
" Despite the end is " Gumrah "is still one of the films from the early 60s, the actresses offered a broader platform than previously used, as about Bandini with the wonderful Nutan. At the BR Chopra's drama does not quite approach, to does it all progressive ideas despite sometimes powerless - but it is always to Bollywood cinema at a high level with impressive performances in front of and behind the camera.
