Baawarchi is a classic from Hrishida. It is shot almost entirely in a single household set. All the characters are etched beautifully with a nice little suspense in the climax. The music could have been much better given the beautiful lyrics.
Jaya Bhaduri,A.K Hangal, Asrani & Paintal have all given good performances. The film talks about the advantages of a joint family & must be watched by today's generation.
Now, coming to one very good reason why it must be watched. The performance of Super Star Rajesh Khanna.
His portrayal is absolutely brilliant. He makes his appearance a good 15 minutes after the film starts, but right till the end, he keeps you enthralled. His charm & style proves why he was & still remains the greatest superstar of Hindi cinema.
Rajesh Khanna dared to do films without a heroine (which is unthinkable even today). He had no heroine in Anand & Bawarchi & later on in Shatru.
This is a movie which I have watched many times & never felt bored. Rajesh Khanna truly deserved a national award for this performance but then awards are not always given on merit.
One of the top 10 films of Hindi Cinema.
