Entertainment Desk, New Delhi. International level films are presented in the Cannes Film Festival, one of the most prestigious film festivals in the cinema world. It includes movies from film industries around the world.

Cannes, which often becomes a topic of discussion due to the presence of celebs on the red carpet, was in the news when a Hindi cinema film won the film festival.

But the surprising thing was that that movie was not appreciated in India and it was considered as a lagging movie. Let us know which movie is being mentioned in this article.

First Hindi film to win Cannes

It has very rarely been seen that an Indian film has tasted success at the International Film Awards. But whenever this has happened, it has been historic in itself. A similar history was created by the Hindi film Neecha Nagar, released 80 years ago.

Apart from this, veteran actress Kamini Kaushal also entered Hindi cinema as an actress through this film. The movie was awarded the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film award at the Cannes Film Festival held in 1946.

The story of the film was based on a social issue, in which the sensitive topic of discrimination between the rich and poor class was depicted. Neecha Nagar was an impressive film in itself.

Was not released in the country

You will be surprised to know that Neecha Nagar, which brought glory to Indian cinema at the Cannes Film Festival, was never released in the theaters of the country. This movie was telecast live on TV channel Doordarshan in the 80s. In such a situation, this movie, which achieved international success, was not given the respect it really deserved by its own countrymen.
