Introduction by Vibhu Vaibhav Anand

This classic of Indian cinema movingly details a doctor’s fall from grace.

In this adaptation of AJ Cronin’s The Citadel, we follow a young, idealistic doctor as he moves to a small village with intentions of making a difference. But life soon finds him compromising his values. When a tragedy befalls him and his new bride, the bitterness in the doctor exacerbates his pursuit of wealth and power. But it comes at a price. We are delighted to welcome Vijay Anand’s son to introduce the restored version of this riveting classic.
