Summary[edit]

Description

Hindi Movie Achhut Kannya (1936) directed by Franz Osten, Music by Saraswati Devi, Starring - Devika Rani, Ashok Kumar, P. F. Pithawala, Kamta Prasad, Kishori Lal, Kusum Kumari, Pramila and others.

Synopsis: The circular story is told in flashback, in which eternal repetition is interrupted only by death in the form of a relentlessly linear railway engine. The film opens at a railway crossing where a man is about to kill his wife when the narrative spins into the past via a song. The central story is of the unhappy love affair between Kasturi (Devika Rani), the Harijan (Untouchable) daughter of the railway level-crossing guard Dukhia (Prasad), and Pratap (Kumar), the Brahmin son of the grocer Mohan (Pithawala). At first, rumour and mob violence are deployed to lethal effect in order to maintain a 'traditional', oppressive morality. Later, when the main protagonists are about to conform and marry selected partners, rumour and maliciousness again intervene to trigger renewed violence until the on-rushing train of fate stops the strife.
