Sindoor is a 1947 Hindi social film directed by Kishore Sahu.[1] The film was produced Sasadhar Mukherjee Productions for Filmistan and had the actor Mehmood in one of his early films.[2] The story, dialogues and part of the lyrics were written by Kishore Sahu. One of the lyricists was Qamar Jalalabadi, with music composed by Khemchand Prakash. The film starred Kishore Sahu, who played the hero,[3] with Shamim Bano, Paro Devi, Gulab, Mehmood, Pratima Devi, Sushil Sahu and Moni Chatterjee.[4]
The film revolves around the social issue of widow remarriage and was cited as being of "social relevance". The theme of widow remarriage was considered "controversial" in the 1940s, with the film stated to be bold in showing the hero accepting the widow at the end of the film. The climax scene, according to a report in the Illustrated Weekly of India is "remembered" even now, with Sahu being cited as a "socially conscious film-maker".[5]
