Mother India (Hindi: भारत माता, Urdu: بھارت ماتا) is a 1957 Bollywood movie directed by Mehboob Khan, nominated for Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1957. The film is a remake of Mehboob Khan's earlier film Aurat (1940). In 2005, Indiatimes Movies ranked the movie amongst the Top 25 Must See Bollywood Films. Credits; * Cast: Nargis, Sunil Dutt, Rajendra Kumar, Raaj Kumar, Kanhaiyalal, Sajid Khan, Chanchal * Dialogues: S. Ali Raza * Music: Naushad * Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni * Story, Screenplay, Producer & Direction: Mehboob Khan. Trivia; * Nargis had long been romantically linked with director and actor Raj Kapoor, but in the end married Sunil Dutt, who co-starred with her in this movie. The marriage seemed scandalous to many at the time, because Sunil had played her son in the movie. * Rajendra Kumar, who plays Nargis's eldest son and Sunil Dutt's brother in the movie also became a part of their family later on, when his son Kumar Gaurav, married Dutt and Nargis's daughter Anju(Namrata Dutt). * The film grossed over Rs.40 million. This record was beaten 3 years later by Mughal-E-Azam in 1960. * This was the first Indian film to ever be nominated in the "Best Foreign Language Film" category at the Oscars in 1957, though Nights of Cabiria eventually got the award. It would not be until 1988, with Salaam Bombay, when India would again be represented at the Oscars. * Sunil Dutt famously saved Nargis during the fire sequence. Nargis was shown trapped inside a raging fire while Sunil Dutt jumps in and saves her. But the blaze roared out of control leaving Nargis stranded. Sunil Dutt quickly grabbed a blanket and plunged inside and, wrapping the blanket around themselves, the twosome ran out. It meant several, painful burns for Sunil but it also resulted in Nargis falling in love with him. They were married within a year....
