Review of Albela

Albela (1951)
5/10
passable movie
21 November 2020
The story is a cliche. A now successful man returns to find that the very family he cared for is now in ruins, and how he saves them from their miseries. Master Bhagwan directed and wrote the film's script himself. It, thus, comes as no surprise that he is the hero of the movie.

However, a short plump hero with expressions looking like a penguin is not your average day to day hero. The expressions of others are good, and the songs are beautiful. The songs however are too many in number. If someone is not speaking anything, they are singing. The songs slow this movie.

This movie would have been a masterpiece if some other hero was chosen wisely. To me this movie seems overrated.
