Ek Ke Baad Ek (1960), directed by Raja Rishi, is a film that attempted to blend social messaging with mainstream entertainment. Featuring Dev Anand, Sharada, and Tarla Mehta, the film aimed to educate the audience on the importance of family planning—a sensitive and important subject at the time. The film's story revolves around a middle-class couple, Mangal and Laxmi, who already have six children, and the narrative unfolds around the struggles that arise when they unexpectedly have a seventh child. The central message of the film, advocating for limiting family size to two children, was undoubtedly relevant, but its execution was flawed. Despite the film's earnest attempt to tackle an important social issue, the narrative felt overly preachy and lacked the subtlety needed to connect with its audience.

एक के बाद एक (1960) के निर्देशक राज ऋषि थे। इस फ़िल्म के ज़रिये मुख्यधारा की मनोरंजन फ़िल्म के साथ सामाजिक संदेश भी मिलाकर दर्शक तक पहुँचाने की कोशिश दिखती है। देव आनंद, शारदा और तरला मेहता की मुख्य भूमिकाओं से सजी इस फ़िल्म का उद्देश्य दर्शकों को उस दौर के एक महत्वपूर्ण सामाजिक विषय 'परिवार नियोजन' के महत्व के बारे में शिक्षित करना था। फिल्म की कहानी मंगल और लक्ष्मी के मध्यमवर्गीय परिवार के इर्द-गिर्द घूमती है। इस जोड़े के पहले से ही छह बच्चे हैं और कहानी में उलझन भरा मोड़ तब आता है जब अनजाने में ही उन्हें सातवाँ बच्चा होने की बात पता चलती है। साफ़ है कि मनोरंजन के अलावा 'हम दो, हमारे दो' रूपी परिवार नियोजन के संदेश की वकालत करना फ़िल्म का मुख्य संदेश था। फ़िल्म का संदेश निस्संदेह प्रासंगिक था लेकिन सिनेमा में इसे पेश करने का तरीका उबाऊ था। एक महत्वपूर्ण सामाजिक मुद्दे को फ़िल्म का विषय बनाने की ईमानदार कोशिश के बावजूद फ़िल्म की शैली अत्यधिक उपदेशात्मक थी और इसमें दर्शकों से बराबरी पर संवाद करनेवाली संवेदनशीलता नहीं दिखाई दी। फ़िल्म के नायक देव आनंद उस दौर में काला पानी (1958), काला बाज़ार (1960), सोलवाँ साल (1958) और बम्बई का बाबू (1960) जैसी कामयाब फ़िल्मों की झड़ी लगा चुके थे और...
