About Sohag
A professional thief Dhanji Bhagat uses his street-dancer daughter Raju as cover while working for wealthy schemer Keshav Seth. After Dhanji’s death, Raju’s life spirals into entanglements with Keshav’s shady dealings, a reckless suitor named Ramesh, and a series of misadventures that mix crime, betrayal, and misplaced romance. The story races through thefts, murders, and mistaken loyalties, ending with Ramesh marrying Raju after a turbulent journey of deceit and redemption.
Directed by Balwant Bhatt, Sohag leans on a strong ensemble — Kumar, Bibbo, Mazhar Khan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1940.
