Musafir 1957

Shakuntala (Suchitra Sen) and her husband Ajay (Shekhar) elope and move into a new house together. The landlord Mahadev Chaudhary (David) helps the couple move to the rented house, which is the main protagonist of the film. While Shakuntala makes the house into a beautiful home, her husband gets busy with work. She meets the neighbouring tea vendor (Mohan Choti) and meets the next door "aunty", whose favourite pastime is to gossip about developments in others' homes. The couple hears the sound of a violin in the night and asks the tea-stall owner about it in the morning. He says that it is being played by a madman, Pagla Babu. Since the couple had eloped, Shakuntala wants her parents-in-law to accept her as their daughter-in-law. They somehow find the young couple and are more than happy to meet Shakuntala, accepting her into the family. Finally, Shakuntala and her husband go with them and vacate the house. In between, Shakuntala plants some seeds in the garden.
