The Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema says this about the film:

After the failure at the box office of Kaagaz
Ke Phool (1959), Guru Dutt had let M. Sadiq
direct his Chaudhvin Ka Chand (1960)
before making this elegiac movie which he
credited to his long-term collaborator and
scenarist, Alvi. Taken from a classic Bengali
novel, the story is set in the 19th C. zamindari
milieu of the Choudhury household. It is seen
through the eyes of the lower-class but
educated Bhoothnath (Dutt) who arrives in
colonial Calcutta looking for work (while
British troops loot the shops). Through his city
relative Bhoothnath finds accomodation in the
Choudhury haveli (ancestral mansion) while
working at the Mohini Sindoor factory, which
allows the narrative to move from the
aristocratically indolent world of the zamindars
to the more prosaic one of the Brahmo Samaj.
The plot has the hero being fascinated by the
lady of the house Chhoti Bahu (M. Kumari),
whose husband (Rehman) prefers the company
of dancing-girls and all-night drinking bouts.
The film gradually gives way to a darker mood
as the family loses its fortune and descends to
ruin while Chhoti Bahu becomes an alcoholic.
At times compared to Satyajit Ray’s
Jalsaghar (1958) as a commentary on
Bengal’s decaying feudalism, Dutt’s film is a
romantic and somewhat nostalgic tale about a
bygone era, presenting the past and the future
through the contradictory attitudes of two
female figures. Meena Kumari’s skilful
performance, redolent with sensuality (e.g. the
scene where she entices her husband to stay by
her side through the song Na jao saiyan, sung
by Geeta Dutt), is counterpointed by Waheeda
Rehman’s robust and girlish presence (esp. in
the Bhanwra bada nadaan number sung by
Asha Bhosle). The film itself is told entirely in
flashback and the long shadows of history
invade the images in sequences such as the
Saakiya aaj mujhe neend number (sung by
Asha Bhosle) where all the dancers are seen in
shadow while the singing courtesan (Minoo
Mumtaz) is bathed in light.

It won Filmfare awards for Best Film, Director, Actress, Cinematography, and Hindi Feature Film.
