Sujata is a wonderful film. It stars Nutan, Sunil Dutt, Shashikala, Tarun Bose and Sulochana. The film is about a low caste girl who is adopted by a high caste family. She gets treated differently from her sister,who are the family's daughter, because of her caste. When the girl finds out she's devastated and then realizes why she got treated differently from her sister. Sunil Dutt comes along and wants to marry the girl but will he marry her after he finds out her caste?

The film is lovely and is a must see. It deserves a 10 out of 10.
