Arohi (1965)

Evocative and eloquent, this social relevant tale revolves around a peasant (Bannerjee) who lives in a small village. He learns to read and is befriended by a doctor (D. Roy) who helps him improve his status in the community. This multi-layered drama delves into the human need for acceptance and approval, through the peasant's anxiety that others should accept the knowledge he gained from his readings.
