Stylised parable about human virtue. An idealistic cop, Adinath (Shantaram), believing people to be fundamentally good, takes six simple-minded murderers to a desolate area and sets up a farming commune. In spite of the threats of violence, they produce a decent farm and come into conflict with the 'virtuous' citizens in a nearby village who see their economic interests threatened and reveal themselves to be the real baddies. Sandhya plays the role of Champa, an itinerant seller of children's toys who befriends all the prisoners and the only female in this oppressively male world.

Do Aankhen Barah Haath was shown at the Berlin and San Francisco Film Festivals in 1958.
