Ashok Kumar stars in this touching tale as Shivanth, a caring father who’s robbed of the chance to see his beloved daughter Nina grow up when he’s sentenced to prison for killing a pedophile who was abusing the daughter of one his employees.

One of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s remarkable works, Aashirwaad is a poignant father-daughter drama. Loosely based on Rabindranath Tagore’s short story Kabuliwala, this film has an evocative performance from Ashok Kumar as the father who must hide his identity from the daughter he loves dearly.
