Gateway of India is a 1957 Indian Hindi-language black comedy film directed and produced by Om Prakash and cinematographed by G. Singh.
It features an ensemble cast including Bharat Bhushan, Pradeep Kumar, Madhubala, Anita Guha, Johnny Walker, Master Bhagwan.
The uncle kills the poor servant, and tells his minions to put the corpse in a box and deliver it the next morning to the Gateway of India.
The adventure takes place over one night, as Anju flees from one tight spot after another, outwitting dangerous thugs and men, who are, to put it mildly, not gentlemen.
This time she climbs over the gate into the window of a Bluebeard type (Bhagwan Dada), who has married half a dozen women and then killed them to collect insurance.
Anju bats her eyelids at him too, promises to marry him (he gets to dance to a dream sequence dressed as a Chinaman), tells him to meet her at the Gateway of India and walks off only to run into a street don (Om Prakash) who takes a fancy to her.
The criminals all end up in jail and in a move very bold for the time, she runs after Prakash and proposes him, giving him no chance to turn her down.
"Do Ghadi Voh Jo" - Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi Gateway of India received favourable reviews by critics.
A retrospective review by Deepa Gahlot found the film's story and themes to be offbeat, as most of the leading actresses in those days were "damsels in distress", while Madhubala played a runner who "survives on her own, without the help of a man."
