"Amar"
1954
Directed by Mehboob Khan

Reportedly one of director Mehboob Khan's favorite films among his own work, this melodrama broke with convention by portraying a weak and cowardly anti-hero. Dilip Kumar stars as a lawyer who rapes a milkmaid and refuses to come forward when she suffers the consequences. His fiancee stands up for the girl, forcing the lawyer to face up to his crime. With Nimmi and Madhubala. Hindi with English subtitles.  147 minutes.
