Mother India (Hindi: मदर इण्डिया, Urdu: مدر انڈیا) is a 1957 Bollywood film directed by Mehboob Khan and starring Nargis, Sunil Dutt, Rajendra Kumar and Raj Kumar. The film is a remake of Mehboob Khan's earlier film Aurat (1940).[1] The film was fifth Indo-Russian co-production, and was preceded by Pardesi (1957), also starring Nargis Dutt.[2] In 2005, Indiatimes Movies ranked the movie amongst the Top 25 Must See Bollywood Films.[3]. The film ranked #3 in the list of all-time box office hits.[4]

The film was India's first submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1958, and was chosen as one of the five nominations for the category. However, the submitted entry was dramatically different from the original version released in India. The version sent to the Academy was edited down to 120 minutes from 160 for the benefit of a foreign audience. The 120-minute version was later distributed in the US and UK by Columbia Pictures.[5] The film came close to winning the award, but eventually lost to Federico Fellini's Nights of Cabiria by a single vote.
