B.R. Chopra has made many legendary movies on important social issues like Gumrah, Insaaf Ka Tarazu, Nikaah, and Tawaif. The specialty of his films can be seen as the literary qualities seldom witnessed in Hindi movies. In that aspect, "Ek Hi Raasta" can't be slated among his top movies for the story and subject which resembles the common tear jerkers from 50s and 60s. Despite the film isn't short of the sweetness it provides for which the film remains compulsively watchable till the very end. The story somewhat forms a triangular relationship between the protagonists, Sunil Dutt, Meena Kumari and Ashok Kumar which results into a complex drama. But the whole film gets overshadowed by the child artist's performance for which the film deserves a huge applaud. The music isn't very memorable. What you would remember in the film is the sweetness in the characterization and the drama. Overall, not the best classic from BR Chopra but still a good one.
