Bimal Roy's 'Do Bigha Zamin' (1953) was a landmark film globally, winning the International Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. Which other critically acclaimed film by him, released in 1958 and starring Dilip Kumar and Vyjayanthimala, was selected as India's official entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film that year, though it wasn't nominated?
Correct: B
'Madhumati' (1958) was India's official entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Directed by Bimal Roy, this supernatural romance starring Dilip Kumar and Vyjayanthimala was a commercial and critical success, celebrated for its unique storyline, reincarnation theme, and memorable music by Salil Chowdhury. While it was submitted, it did not receive a nomination. 'Devdas' was released earlier (1955), and 'Sujata' and 'Bandini' were later films by Roy.
