Description: The 1971 classic by Tarun Majumder continues to awe Audience till date. Based on a story by Bibhutibhusan Bandyopadhyay, it narrates how two people fell in love, drifted far apart, and met again, a long, long, time later. Sandhya Roy and Anup Kumar perfectly portray Hiru and Kumu, and we are overwhelmed by the simple strength of their talent.
