Two old movies

We had some good rainfalls in Delhi during the weekend. I watched two old movies in the weekend: Do Bigha Zamin and Around the World in 80 Days. Both of these were made in 1950s. Do Bigha Zamin depics the struggle of a poor village farmer who has to save his land from the greedy zamindaar. It is one of the classics from Bimol Roy. Around the World in 80 days is adaptation of Jules Verne's novel with the same name. It was awarded 5 oscars .
