Flashback to golden era celluloid scenes

In an incident of one of its kind, a 'dead' person from Agacaim returned back home after 2 months. Earlier, the unknown dead body was identified, and it was even laid to rest with due respect. No doubt, it becomes very much difficult to identify a deteriorating dead body, especially with some sort of common body marks upon it. Yes, none are perfect and human errors do occur. It must have been an immense deal for the lost person, aged 59, from Agacaim, to face the challenges of life, and ultimately make his way back home, after  2 months. Coincidentally, the 'golden era' celluloid world witnessed such type of scenes on the silver-screen, wherein the 'mother role' played by 'Nirupa Roy', in which she happened to encounter such type of surprises, wherein her 'reel husband/children' were found alive and vice-versa; after they had faced separation during their initial phase of life. However, the current scenario is a 'real life' encounter, and seems to be like a revival of the 'golden era' celluloid scenes. Subsequently, it's also a time of celebration for the dead man's family on a happy note.
