"Bombai Ka Baboo" or "Bambai Ka Babu" is a 1960 Indian Hindi film directed by Raj Khosla and written by Rajinder Singh Bedi. The film stars Dev Anand and Suchitra Sen in her rare appearance in Hindi cinema.
Though the film was a thriller, it treads into rare Hindi film territory by hinting at incest between the lead pair.
Except for the "Brother-Sister" angle, the plot of Bombai Ka Babu is copied from O'Henry's short story, A Double-Dyed Deceiver. The story of the movie is very similar to Amitabh Bachchan film Zameer.
With classic songs like 'Chal ri sajni, ab kya soche', by Mukesh, and 'Deewana mastana hua Dil' by Mohd. Rafi and Asha Bhosle, the film was a musical masterpiece, and is considered one of finest films music by S. D. Burman and lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri.
The tune of the song 'Dekhne mein bhola hai' was copied from song 'Eruvaka Sagaro Ranno Chinnananna' from Telugu Movie Rojulu Marayi.
The film diretcor Raj Khosla was also the film maker behind Dev Anand's suspenses like CID (1956) and Kaala Paani (1958).
