Safar (1970)
Asit Sen’s 1970 hit Safar is a story of ordinary people grappling with staggering challenges and compromises.But in this refreshingly non-melodramatic fare, a murmur of protest, an escaped sob and a half-concealed smirk are the only emotional luxuries its characters afford themselves in the inexplicable journey of life, the eponymous safar of the title.Caught in the eddying whirlpool of emotions are Safar’s protagonists Neela (Sharmila Tagore) and Avinash (Rajesh Khanna).
Cast: Ashok Kumar, Sharmila Tagore, Rajesh Khanna
