Jew) is a 1958 Hindi-language epic romantic historical drama film directed by Bimal Roy.

On the roads of the Jewish quarter, Brutus (Nazir Hussain), Governor of Rome, is passing, making an announcement.

A stone slips from Elijah's hand on the balcony and hits Brutus on the head.

In revenge, Emmanuel kidnaps Lydia, motherless daughter of Brutus, and takes her to Ezra.

Ezra snaps out of his catatonic state when the girl starts to call him father, and he refuses to kill her and instead adopts her as his child.

Emmanuel helps him and Lydia escape the guards, who eventually break down the front door -- after which he tells them a tale about how he murdered Lydia and fed her to stray dogs, to which the enraged guards react by killing him.

Fifteen years pass and Ezra grows to become a successful jeweller, well known to be so good and a Jew.

Hannah (Meena Kumari) grows into a beautiful young lady and attracts attention from many.

He rescues Hannah from the unwanted attentions of a Roman soldier and meets her father, Ezra, not as Prince Marcus but as Moshe, a successful Jew from Alexandria.

Unable to bear that his beloved will be burnt in front of him, Prince Marcus blinds himself, then goes to the cauldron chamber.

Shocked to find him blind, Hannah lends him support and helps him as the two disappear into the distance.
