Magroor (transl. Proud) is a 1950 Indian Hindi-language romance film[1] produced by J.B.H. Wadia and directed by cinematographer R.D. Mathur.[2]
Plot
The film opens with Chandni (Nigar Sultana), an independent, rich and carefree girl taking her cat Mini for drives in the country. On one such drive the cat jumps out and while in chasing her cat down Chandni meets and quarrels with a young farmer (Rehman).
Chandni lives with her intimidating Chachi (
In Pune, the real Meenu (Meena Kumari)—whose father has recently died, is working as a typist at "Modern India Agricultural Implements, Ltd." When she receives a cryptic letter from Chachi admonishing her for not sharing her "news" with her, she is puzzled and decides to visit, playing right into Chachi’s hands. Chachi sends for Moti at the same time and when Meenu arrives she locks them in an upstairs room together so that they can sort out their problems. Moti apologizes for the "misunderstanding" profusely, but Meenu is understandably pretty angry and escapes from the balcony after bashing him on the head when he tries to stop her.
Moti confides in Chandni that he has fallen in love at first sight with the feisty Meenu. Chandni, on the other hand, has begun meeting Manohar and sends messages to him via Mini the Cat.
Manohar lives with his Ma (
Moti, now recovered from his head wound, decides to visit a company which he owns in Pune, Modern India Agricultural Implements Ltd and is surprised to see Meenu there. On seeing him, she kicks him out, not realizing that he is the "big boss".
Meenu puts up a charity show in which Moti confesses his love to Meenu and his sincerity wins her over. Moti is then caught by Chachi who takes him on the pretext of helping Chandni away from the show leaving Meenu to wait for him. Manohar goes to meet Meenu and Moti backstage, where Meenu tells him that Moti hasn’t shown up; he offers to drive her to Moti’s house. But when they get there they see Moti trying to comfort his old friend Chandni and completely misinterpret the scene.
Manohar convinces the heartbroken Meenu to come home with him and open a clinic. She moves in with him and his mother. When Moti and Chandni discover that Meenu and Manohar are now living together, now they misconstrue the situation.
In the end, love wins out over stubbornness and pride.
