Utpal Dutt lifts this movie up!
8 July 2021
To be frank, for me the reason to watch this movie was Utpal Dutt. He is just superb in every scene and he is just treat to watch.

The movie is about a house owner Kundanlal(Utpal Dutt) wants to get his house but the tenants Laxmi(Vidya Sinha) and Jaya(Padmini Kohlapuri) refuses to vacate the house. Anil (Raj Babbar) is in love with Jaya and is a confused person, but a simple one. He is always dominated by his father.

The movie starts off well but gets actually interesting when Kundanlal moves to the city to get his house back. There is humour and comedy with drama and all works fine. But the real star for me was Utpal Dutt who was just terrific in every scene.

There was nothing great in the story, its a simple story but the execution was very good. Basu Chatterjee is known for making this kind of movie and he excels in this one too. Characters looks pretty convincing and story looks so natural.

Performance is also the key for this movie. Raj Babbar is okay but surely not comfortable in the comic scenes but does a good job. Padmini Kohlapuri is pretty convincing as Jaya Abhyankar.

But the star of the movie was undoubtedly Utpal Dutt. Though it was not a full fledged role.

All in all a light hearted movie which is enjoyable.
