Interesting facts

Insān Jaag Utha is a 1959 Hindi-language social drama film, produced and directed by Shakti Samanta, and written by Nabendu Ghosh and Vrajendra Gaur, based on a story by Saroj Mitra. The film stars Madhubala, Sunil Dutt, Nasir Hussain, Bipin Gupta and Madan Puri in lead roles. It has music by Sachin Dev Burman, with lyrics by Shailendra.

Production

It was a tiring yet refreshing experience to get so close to nature and witness the lives of hundreds of people who are helping to build the new India.

Early in his career, Samanta had directed only crime thrillers including Inspector (1956) and Howrah Bridge (1958). A few days after the success of Howrah Bridge (1958), which was directed and also produced by him, he began working on Insān Jaag Utha. Insān Jaag Utha was a film with social and patriotic themes, and this was an attempt by Samanta to shift to making social films.
