Synopsis [edit]

The film is about two brothers, Ganga and Jamna, growing up in a village controlled by an evil landlord. When Ganga is
framed by the landlord for a crime he did not commit, he escapes to the mountains with his girlfriend, Dhanno, and joins
a band of bandits. His younger brother, Jamna, is sent to the city for his education and becomes a police officer. Years
later, when Ganga is about to become a father, he decides to return to the village to ask for forgiveness. However,
Jamna wants him to surrender to the police for his crimes and when Ganga refuses and tries to leave, Jamna shoots
him dead. Ganga's death rendered more poignant by the fact that it was his money that paid for Jamna's education and
allowed him to become a policeman.

Plot [edit]

Widowed Govindi (Leela Chitnis) lives a poor lifestyle in Haripur along with two sons, Gungaram and Jumna. Ganga
spends his days working with his mother as a servant in the home of the zamindar's obnoxious family while Jumna, a
promising student, focuses on his schoolwork. While Jumna is studious, Gungaram is the opposite, but has a good
heart and decides to use his earnings to ensure his brother gets a decent education. After her employer, Hariram,
accuses Govindi of theft, their house is searched, evidence is found and she is arrested. The entire village bails her out
but the shock kills her. After their mother passes away, Ganga pledges himself to supporting his younger brother as
they grow to adulthood.

The adult Ganga (Dilip Kumar) is a spirited and hardworking fellow, unafraid to take on the zamindar when necessary,
while his brother Jumna (Nasir Khan) is more measured and cautious. Ganga sends Jumna to the city to study, and
supports him with funds that he earns driving an oxcart and making deliveries for the zamindar. But things get
complicated when Ganga saves a local girl, Dhanno (Vyjayanthimala), from the zamindar's lecherous assault. The
zamindar (Anwar Hussain) gets his revenge by trumping up a robbery charge against Ganga, landing him in prison.
Upon his release, Ganga learns that his brother has become destitute and attacks and robs the zamindar in a rage.
Soon Ganga finds himself an outlaw, and, with Dhanno at his side, he joins a gang of bandits camping out in the
wilderness. In the meantime, Jumna meets a fatherly police officer (Nazir Hussain) and becomes a police officer
himself. It isn't long before Jumna's professional wanderings take him back to the village of his birth, where he must
square off against his outlaw brother in a showdown between duty and family.

Reception [edit]

Critical response [edit]

The film has received widespread

critical acclaim in India as well as
overseas. Karan Bali from
Upperstall.com, call the film has
"Gwell-structured and briskly paced
film" adding that "notable of the use
of Bhojpuri dialect, which helps
make the film refreshingly real and
gives it a proper locale and
geography".[7] Dinesh Raheja from
Rediff called the film "What is also
moving about Ganga Jamuna is its
tragic irony[...]Of all the
conundrums of human relationships
that Ganga Jamuna explores, the
most affecting is the one between

great thought and charm[...]Director
Nitin Bose frames some excellent
shots even while keeping a tight rein on the narrative".[8] Deepak Mahan from The Hindu said "Gunga Jumna is a
classic entertainer at its best with a powerful story, outstanding performances and riveting music[...]an eye-opener as to
why good stories will always be the real “super stars” and why content must dictate the form rather than the other way
round".[9] Gaurav Malani from The Times of India gave it 3/5 stars and praised actor Dilip Kumar for his performance as
Ganga.[10] K. K. Rai from Stardust called the film "the story of two brothers on opposite sides of law repeated over and
over again but never with so much power" and applauded Vyjayanthimala for her portrayal of rustic village girl Dhanno
where Rai said "Vyjayanthimala’s Dhanno won her the best actress trophy[..]She played the village woman with such
simplicity and grace; you’d forget she was one of the most glamorous stars of her time. She also spoke the Bhojpuri
dialect like a native".[11]

The film also gained good response from overseas. Philip Lutgendorf from University of Iowa said that "By focusing its
story and its audience’s sympathies on the brother who goes astray, however, the film invites a critical and pessimistic
appraisal of the state’s ability to protect the underprivileged, and its tragic central character thus anticipates the “angry”
proletarian heroes popularized by Amitabh Bachchan in the 1970s[...]Linguistic coding is artfully used, with Gunga and
Dhanno’s raucous arguments in colorful Bhojpuri dialect contrasted with Jumna’s carefully-measured pronouncements
in Khari Boli or “high” Delhi speech. Rural life is also celebrated in exhuberant [sic] songs and dances[...]The sweeping
landscape of the Deccan, with its arid mesas and lush green valleys forms a gorgeous backdrop to many scenes".[12]

On 26 November 2008, Rediff ranked the film as one of the best 1960s Bollywood film in their "Landmark Film of 60s"
list, adding that "Its massive success, not just in terms of business, but also vivid story-telling, endearing camaraderie,
uncompromising technique as well as the concept of ideology at odds, has visibly influenced major motion pictures
over the years, rural or contemporary backdrop, notwithstanding.".[13]

Ganga Jamna was one of the top 25 most successful Indian films in the Soviet Union.[17] At an average Soviet ticket

The Hindu retrospectively criticized the 9th Filmfare Awards for snubbing Dilip Kumar from the Filmfare Award for Best
Actor, which was awarded to Raj Kapoor for Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai (1961). The Hindu described it as "a
strange travesty of justice" that Kumar lost out the award, after delivering "a magnificent role of a lifetime."[37]

Story [edit]

Its story of two brothers on opposing sides of the law became a dominant narrative motif in Hindi cinema from the
1970s onwards.[39] It was a trendsetter, inspiring films such as Deewaar (1975), Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) and
Trishul (1978).[37] It had a strong influence on screenwriter duo Salim-Javed, who took inspiration from Ganga Jamna
when they wrote the stories and scripts of films such as Deewaar and Trishul.[38]

Ganga Jamna's most immediate successor was Deewaar.[39] Salim-Javed credited Ganga Jamna as the inspiration for
Deewaar, which they described as a "more urban, much more contemporary" take on its themes. [40]

Ganga Jamna was a defining example of the dacoit film genre. [41] It went on to inspire Sholay (1975), which combined
the dacoit film conventions established by Ganga Jamna and Mother India with that of the Western genre. [41] The villain
Gabbar Singh (Amjad Khan) is a dacoit speaking with a dialect inspired by Gunga, a mix of Khariboli and Awadhi,[42]
and a scene depicting an attempted train robbery was also inspired by a similar scene in Ganga Jamna.[43]

Acting [edit]

Dilip Kumar's performance as Ganga is considered one of the finest acting performances in the history of Indian
cinema. According to The Hindu:[37]

Dilip Kumar is the “super star” as he essays a character that blends rustic comedy, romance, tragedy and
villainy in a magnificent role of a lifetime.
The “Badshah of Acting” enacts each scene with such ease and finesse that you are left astounded by the
sheer brilliance of his genius since his body movements and dialogue delivery change in tune with the
development of the character and story.

His performance in Gunga Jumna inspired future generations of actors, most notably Amitabh Bachchan, who was
inspired by Dilip Kumar's performance in this film. According to Bachchan, he learnt more about acting from Gunga
Jumna than he did from any other film. Bachchan, who hails from Uttar Pradesh, was particularly impressed by
Kumar's mastery of the Awadhi dialect, expressing awe and surprise as to how “a man who’s not from Allahabad and
Uttar Pradesh” could accurately express all the nuances of Awadhi.[38] Bachchcan's famous "angry young man"
persona was modeled after Kumar's performance as Gunga, with Bachchan's "angry young man" being a sharpened
version of Kumar's intensity as Gunga.[44] Bachchan adapted Kumar's style and reinterpreted it in a contemporary
urban context reflecting the changing socio-political climate of 1970s India.[45]
