Question

Sambu was eager but his mother very reluctant to see the film.why

Answer 1

Shambu is the protagonist of the story “A Shadow”, by R K Narayan.

Shambu’s father was a movie actor before his death. He loves to watch the last film that his father acted in as it brings back fond memories.

However, his mother does not share the same view. Though she has no ill-feelings towards her husband, watching his last movie only increases her grief.

This is why she feels reluctant to watch the movie.
