==Review==
The review by [[Baburao Patel]] in ''[[Filmindia]]'' praised Chhabi Biswas as Nutubehari. Biswas had originally played the same role for the stage version. Chandravati as Bimla "competes successfully" with Biswas and her acting was commended for restraint. Ahindra Choudhary was stated to be "disappointing". The screenplay came in for harsh criticism, being called "utterly clumsy". The fact that an important character in the play, Sushobhan, played by Jawahar Ganguly on screen, was turned into a "frivolous" character, and the tragic death of Nutbehari avoided and the character allowed to live in the film also came in for censure.<ref name=Filmindia />

It starred [[Uttam Kumar]] as Nutbihari, [[Supriya Devi|Supriya Choudhury]] as Bimla, and [[Lily Chakraborty]] as Kalyani.<ref name=Indiancinema>{{cite web|title=Dui Purush (1945)|url=https://indiancine.ma/EDY/info|website=indiancine.ma|publisher=Indiancine.ma|accessdate=29 March 2015}}</ref>
