The movie Bawarchi was a remake in Hindi of the earlier Bengali movie "galpo holeo satti" ( which means "Its true even though it is a story"). Which was quite a hit. The central role ( the bawarchi) was played by Robi Ghosh. As is usual in such remakes, the Hindi version was technically superb, did very well, and remains evergreen. Also, this was Rajesh Khanna at the peak of his acting abilities. Although very much a director's movie, Rajesh Khanna could put his stamp clearly.
HRISHI DA NEVER GAVE ANY BHAV TO KAKA OR AMIT DA OR ANY BODY IN BOLLYWOOD. SIMPLE AND SWEET HRISHIDA. U KNOW.
NOW TODAY BOLLYWOOD NEW THOUGHTS NEW PERCEPTIONS NEW CONCEPTS BUT ROOT IS HA HA OLD ONE NOTHING APART FROM BIMAL ROY, HRISHI DA, TAPAN SINHA , GURU DUTT, R.K. DEV, KIDAR SHRAMA, V SHANTARAM, SHAKTI SAMANTA, MAN MOHAN DESAI, (MANJI) RAVI TANDON, BRIJ, F.C. MEHRA, YASH JOHAR. B.R. CHOPRA, THE LIST IS ENDLESS BABY. SO BOLLYWOOD IS ALWAYS LIVE ND FRESH.
@darrinthebold Hrishikesh Mukherjee is the director, the old man is Harindranath Chatopadhyay--Sarojini Naidu's brother as Shaky said. The handsome guy washing the dishes is Rajesh Khanna. the not so handsome guy in the scarlet shirt is Asrani.
Wonderful song from a wonderful movie.
