Today is International Women's Day. Continuing with the ongoing saga of women's films, comes the hard-hitting tale of a prostitute and her quest for dignity and respectability, from the flaming fifties. BR Chopra's films have always contained a strong indictment of several burning issues of the day, and Sadhna is no less. Dealing with the rehabilitation of sex workers and their quest to retain their dignity in a society that treats them like commodities, Chopra uses the story of one woman to highlight the double standards of a patriarchal society. It's a pleasant coincidence that I should post this today - March 8 also happens to be the birth date of Sahir Ludhianvi, who is the lyricist for this film.
