Storyline

- TriviaInitially B.R.Chopra had signed Madhubala to play the female lead. She even completed a ten-day shooting schedule in Bombay. Subsequently when the unit was to move to an out-of-town shooting location (Bhopal) Madhubala's father, Ataullah Khan, refused to let her go citing health reasons. In actuality he didn't want to encourage the budding romance between Madhubala and Dilip Kumar, the male lead. When repeated reasoning failed to change Ataullah Khan's decision, B.R.Chopra dropped Madhubala and cast Vyjantimala instead. Ataullah Khan took the matter to court and Chopra was able to prove that the shooting in Bhopal was essential to the film. But the judgment had to wait till the movie was completed.

Featured review
Naya Daur is a complete movie with all elements of human sentiments and emotions. It had a great message delivered to viewers. The message of imbibing humanity in our lives. Naya Daur means 'New Race' which is actually about the competition between Man vs Machine. Such script could be expected only from European production esp in 1950s. BR Chopra has made this a pathbreaking original film in Bollywood which is irreplaceable by any other. It's a masterpiece movie with top notch technicals and gripping narration that shouldn't be missed. Recommended for all who want to experience Bollywood.
It's fast paced narratives takes you to a rural area of India where people work and sweat, lives a satisfied life with all sorts of basic amenities being fulfilled. Then appears the antagony, who thought of changing this scenario, by separating satisfaction from human lives through various modern innovations. The reasons too are rightly shown ie the greed of money instead of human welfare. A salute to the writer who thought this idea so perfectly in 1950s, which is and still will be relevant in decades to come. Various human characters like a passionate lover, a social hero, sibling and family relationships and many interfere in this classic tale of new race. Then comes the jealousy, enemity, forgiveness, understanding and finally unity. The climax is happily ended with the message of unity, enlightening us about humanity and its values. A truly entertaining but much needed film for visual example of inculcating human values. Enough of the storyline here though, but will suggest the reader of the review to just watch it for a great visual experience.
The storyline, the performance and the songs are enough to keep you seated, perhaps make you ponder about the greatness of this film. Nothing is nonsensical in it, rather will have a lasting positive impact on your mind. A family film with scenes that you should nothing to worry about. Dilip Kumar Sir is just the true social hero of rural village, young enough to take burden and smart enough to challenge authority. He is the bright point of it, next to the great story chosen. Lastly Johnny walker with his charming smile makes new innovation in societal dealings is also fun to watch.
Naya Daur is ahead of its time, which proved that advancement in thought was always there in India. It is a kind of trend-setter film that has depicted those universal concerns which has been affecting human values, esp from Europe to all places of the world. It is great film that needs to be popularised and revoted to atleast 8.9 with a million votes. 7.9/10 is not justified for such a great movie. It will be an all time cinematic masterpiece. A 100 on a scale of 100.
