Daktar Babu was a 1958 Bengali film produced by Movie Screen Limited and directed by Bishu Dasgupta. The film's story was written by Bijan Bhattacharjee and the script was written by Pranab Ray. The film starred Uttam Kumar and Sabitri Chattopadhyay and featured music composed by Rajen Sarkar.
When the movie opens, a woman is recalling the events that molded her perspective on the world. Years ago, her husband, a wealthy Western-educated landowner, challenged tradition by providing her with schooling, and inviting her out of the seclusion in which married women were kept, to the consternation of more conservative relatives. Meeting her husband's visiting friend from college, a leader of an economic rebellion against the British, she takes up his political cause, despite her husbands warnings. As the story progresses, the relationship between the woman and the visitor becomes more than platonic, and the political battles, pitting rich against poor and Hindu against Moslem, turn out not to be quite as simple as she had first thought.
