Mother India (1957): Taking inspiration from his 1940 film 'Aurat', director Mehboob Khan remade the film in 1957 as 'Mother India'. The film revolves around the story of Radha (Nargis) who struggles to raise her sons in the absence of her husband and survive against a money-lender. With some powerful performances by Nargis, Sunil Dutt and Rajendra Kumar, 'Mother India' became the first Hindi film to be nominated for the Oscars.
