FILMINDIA
February, 1941
foreign referee who wins — wins the land on which a Uttle before the two brothers did shed their blood in a mortal combat goaded by the whisperings of the foreign referee. The brothers do not only lose their lives, but they also forfeit their land which had been till then a sacred heritage of their forefathers.
In the midst of all this strife, which we find mainly in our cities and towns poisoned by the seeds of Western civilization, the one ray of hope lies in the fact that in our villages, which constitute the real India, the Commandment of Christ still rings true and the Hindu and the Muslim, though belonging to different religions, still share their sighs and smiles like twins in the struggles of life unaware of the wedge of strife which their city brothers have suffered to stand between them.
"Padosi" brings this ancient story to the screen with its vibrant and unmistakable message of peace and harmony between the Two Brothers to whom has been entrusted the traditional glory of our land to be passed on from generation to generation as a divine trust.
In the symbolic roles of Thakur, the Hindu and Mirza, the Muslim we see twins born in the same cradle of traditions, smiling and sighing together through a life time of struggle and in the end, like twins, cuddled together in their graves — inseparable during a life time and inseparable in death. "Padosi" is a symphony of Ram and Rahim.
Padosi is not merely a picture, it is a vivid piece of village life. It has no sermons to preach as no words have been used. Its message is silent but unmistakable.
In that silent message is the thought for the New Year: "Love Thy Neighbour As Thyself." That message was first written by the Martyr of Bethlehem in His own blood. And through ages it has been written and re-written by human beings in their own blood.
Will this land, which stands to-day as the only unarmed citadel of peace and love, also have to read that message in letters of blood?
