I felt it was an adaptation of some book or film. TIL
The film was based on Bengali story Pathik by Samaresh Basu.[1]
Was watching the film Kitab (1977) by Gulzar, and I was wondering how do some directors manage to make a kid give right emotions at all the frames? The kid didn't grow up to be a good actor... but he acted like a superstar in the film.
Oh noticed another bandar ki jaisi shakal wali kid... and I was like isse kahin dekha hai... aur kuch der mein pata laga woh Anees Buzmee tha.
Movie was good except the modern woman is an irresponsible/selfish woman bit. Gulzar could've shown the sister and the BIL both made mistakes, had faults, or could have just cut that modern woman crap off and just showed the sister was vain and apathetic. Lekin nahin Gullu unkil ko apni misogyny ki display karna tha.
ETA: OMG Lucky Ali was also in this film and I still can't recognize which kid was he. And Padmini Kolhapuree sang a song.
