    • Trivia
      Rimjhim Gire Sawan (Female)..The filming of this iconic romantic rain song in unsupervised locations was a last-minute decision since it was not possible to shoot it on sets. Director Basu Chatterjee let Amitabh Bachchan and Moushumi Chatterjee improvise, and the crew went from location to location filming the song in some of the most well-known landmarks of Bombay. It was Amitabh's brother Ajitabh who drove the actors from one location to the next. Since the actors weren't very well-known at the time, the crew managed to finish shooting at each location quickly before the crowds realised what was happening. The torrential rains meant that Moushumi's makeup and her saree were running colour throughout the filming.

    A different movie

    Ajay (Played by Amitabh) is a young man. His family consist of himself and his mother. He runs a small factory that make electric equipment like Ammeters etc. The factory has only one single worker / foreman (Played by A K Hangal), who makes sub-standard products and also has lot of financial demands. Instead of running the factory Ajay is more interested in rising socially. He is a good singer too.

    Since the goods made by Ajay's factory are substandard, they are returned and he is taken to the court. His life is in jeopardy and now he realizes that being illiterate if his foreman can make the goods why can't he?

    This movie is purposeful - a lighthouse for me personally. The story line is simple and effective. Excellent acting by the cast. Excellent music, "Rimjhim Ghire Sawan ..." stays apart. This is a refreshing movie.
