Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam Directed By Abrar Alvi Is Based On Bengali Novel "Shaheb Bibi Golam" By Bimal Mitra...Screenplay Is Fine As Per The Script..The Story Is Set In The Last Years Of The 19th Century, It About The Sumptuous Lifestyle & Decay Of A Feudal Family...Chhoti Bahu, A Woman Who Wants To Experience Romance, To Be A Real Wife... Bhootnath A Lowly Servant Is Struck By Her Beauty, Sadness & Inadvertently Becomes Chhoti Bahu's Secret Confidante... The Story Is About Their Relationship ...
Guru Dutt As Bhootnath Gives A Different Kind Of Performance Than His Earlier Movies ....Acting More With Eyes & Facial Expressions ...He Was A Great Talent Altogether...Rehman As Chhote Sarkar Who Is Unfaithful To His Wife Is Alcoholic & Hardly Comes Home.....He Does Well...Waheeda Rehman Is As Usual....Meena Kumari As Chhoti Bahu ...One Of Her Best Performance... Her Few Scenes With Rehman Are Mind Blowing...She is Brilliant....
Music Of The Movie Is Composed By Hemant Kumar....All The Songs Keep The Story Moving ...The Number's Like "Piya Aiso Jiya Mein Samaaye Gayo Re" By Geeta Dutt, "Na Jao Saiyan Chhudaake Baiyan" By Geeta Dutt, "Koi Door Se Aawaaz De Chale Aao" By Geeta Dutt & "Bhanwara Bada Naadaan" By Asha Bhosle ....Are Well Written & Composed.
Overall A Great Attempt By The Director..Many Feel That It Was Directed By Guru Dutt ....Since The Film Is Characteristic Of Guru Dutt's Feel & Style, It Is Difficult To Think That He Did Not Direct The Film. However, Dutt Never Denied Abrar Alvi's Role In The Film As A Director..Anyways Amazing Movie...Great Acting ...Good Songs ...Amazing Story ...A Must Watch :)
