Trivia
Hrishikesh Mukherjee stated : I took to the idea out of sheer defence. Ashok Kumar used to always joke that I had made so many films with him as a character artiste, but none as a hero. One day I phoned and told him, 'If you don't stop teasing me, Imight just end up making a hero out of a buddha.' He laughed it off thinkingI was joking. I wasn't. The day I had the story of Aashirwad on hand, I told Dadamoni that the time had come for the buddha to play hero. That's howAashirwad was born. Aashirwad won the National Award for the best film. Dadamoni received the best actor and the Bharat Ratna.

One of the best Hindi movie of all time

one of the best Hindi movie of all time.Those who want to study Indian Cinema must watch this movie. Acting of Ashok Kumar and Vina( his wife in movie) is classic example of extreme acting. Watch full movie and certainly you feel proud for golden era, although i was not ready to watch this old movie my husband told me to see. I was surprised to see the acting of Ashok Kumar, new actor must learn, even Dilip Saab never done such type of role . Watch also for last seen , you cannot forget Jogi Thakur Eye ,when he was dying in front of his daughter. Vina has also done splendid job as cruel and hate women , you never forget this negative role who change the course of movie . Ashok Kumar also sing a song in the movie after long time, The song were chart buster of that time , Rail gadi rail gadi is first RAP song of Hindi cinema (It Seems).
