'''''Resham Ki Dori''''' ({{Translation|Thread of Silk}}) is a 1974 Bollywood film starring [[Dharmendra]] and [[Saira Banu]].

== Plot & Reviews ==

Ajit and Rajoo become orphans. Ajit, as
the older brother takes care of his
younger sister, at great personal
sacrifice.
When he tries to save his sister from
sexual assault, death occurs.
Ajit, and his little sister are separated
by powers that neither he or she
understand. Resham ki dori - is the
thread that brings them back together.
This is a story of three generations of
arrogance of wealth. It is also a story of
great wealth, dishonest managers,
anger, arrogance in semi- feudal India.
In a social context, it is a story of the
death of the textile industry in Parel,
Lower Parel in Bombay. It is a story of
the exploitation of labour. Some scenes
of labour poverty is gut wrenching.
It is a vision of a person who could
reverse the process of attrition in the
textile industry, if only till the textile
mill was set on fire for insurance.
It is a great movie to watch, if you are
looking out for the social context.
Dialogues are predictable, mostly
studio shot, editing is a bit loose but
overall, a slightly differently managed
film than the usual movies of the time.
1980's.
Excellent storyline, and some superb
acting.<ref>{{cite web| title = Plot and User Reviews: Resham Ki Dori (1974)| publisher = [[Internet Movie Database]]| url =https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0155106/reviews?ref_=m_tt_urv#showAll}}</ref>
