What happens

Gumrah (transl. Astray) is a 1963 Hindi-language romantic drama film produced and directed by B. R. Chopra. The film stars Ashok Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Mala Sinha, Nirupa Roy, Deven Verma and Shashikala. The music was composed by Ravi and the lyrics were by Sahir Ludhianvi. The film was a box office success. It was remade in Malayalam as Vivahitha (1970). The 2005 film Bewafaa was reported to be a rehash of this movie. For her performance, Shashikala won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress for the 1963 film Gumrah. The film, noted for its bold theme at the time (a woman who restarts a relationship with an old lover after her marriage), was said to be inspired by the alleged love story between Dilip Kumar and Kamini Kaushal.
