    Watch this Ashok Kumar & Nirupa Roy starrer just for its murder mystery angle and also Roy being not the mother here but as an actress....

    Kangan is about how a woman played by Nirupa Roy is caught in a psychological mayhem when she murder a man and her husband, played by Ashok Kumar is investigating for the murderer and the whole film shows how he reaches to her and how she....eh...eh...

    Nanabhai Bhatt directed this film and to my surprise, i happy with the mystery around but also sad that it didn't achieve its full potential where too random songs disrupt the flow and thus takes away the excitement for the conclusion.

    You can watch this film for Nirupa Roy who esp., doesn't take the mother role but instead acts as an actress which predates her career.

    And, also for the twist ending.
