Summary: Sha's best-known silent film established the core unit of the
Ranjit Studio and the signature role of its lead start, Gohar. She plays a dutiful wife
whose husband refuses to take his share of the
domestic responsibilities, claiming that he has
enough problems at the office. Frustrated with his
housewifely spouse, he takes up with a dancing-girl.
The wife is spurred into an active social life,
discovering a world beyond the confines of the
home. The tale sought to tell modern women that
they owed it to their husbands to be more than
domestic drudges. Ranjit believed the story to be
commercially infallible. it was remade by Shah
himself in 1934 and again by
Punatar in 1948
when the studio was branching out into Gujarati.
