Miss Mary (1957) User Reviews

Meena Kumari as Miss Mary is the surprise package

[cseabhi · 8/10 · 8 July 2021]

The movie is special for one reason - You will get to see the comic and lighter side of Meena Kumari.

The story is very simple. There is an vacancy for a school and the owner wants a married BA pass couple as school teachers. Arun(Gemini Ganehsan) is unemployed and he along with Mary(Meena Kumari) pose as the married couple to get the job. The employer also have a missing daughter and RK Raju(Kishore Kumar) as the private detective is trying to find where she is. When he see Mary, he is convinced she is the missing daughter.

The whole movie revolves around this story and there isn't much twist and turn for the movie. But what you will see is an out and out comedy movie. A light movie which can be enjoyed by family altogether.

You will love Meena Kumari in this avtaar and she is looking extremely beautiful. Kishore Kumar as RK Raju, the detective delivers perfect performance and is able to keep you entertained throughout the movie. Gemini Ganeshan as Arun is a treat to watch.

The music is very soulful. All songs are lovely and soft.

An Excellent Movie

This Movie is pure entertainment. A Must see. The beauty of the movie is that u know the whole story, right at the beginning, know what would happen and yet u are on the edge of the seat. An out-and-out comedy.

the story line is wrong

The movie is my favorite one amongst Meena Kumari movies. But the storyline given here is wrong. The story is like this.. there are unemployed BA passed Gemini Ganeshan and Meena Kumari, as their employer gets transferred. he is a teacher and she is a music teacher. Then he finds an wanted advertisement for a married BA pass couple as school teachers. He proposes her to act as his wife and apply for the post. first she refuses but then as the Creditor of her father presses for her hand in marriage in lieu of refund of loan, she accepts his proposal to act as his wife. They get the job. However, at the end of the movie they come to know that their employer had a daughter who was missing from childhood and that Meena Kumari is that daughter. She is been raised by a Christian couple as their own daughter and had saved the locket which was in her neck when she was lost. Its a very good movie from acting and direction point of view and good comedy also.. but the best is the music and the songs.
