Awara Baap has a lot of loose ends particularly in the second half due to which the desired impact is not reached. And secondly the lead male character is very unlikebale- one who doesn't care about his father's misery, doesn't care about his wife and later his son, and Rajesh Khanna barely does anything to make his character relatable I'd not likeable. His portions are cliched and even though he is decent it's not enough. Same with Meenaxi Seshadri who hams in the second role even though she is competent authority n the first role. The one who suprised me the most was Rajan Sippy. Not only does he had good screen presence, he entry in the film and his chemistry with Madhuri Dixit was fresh compared to that between Khanna and Seshadri. This is one film where you root for the supporting actors more than the lead actors. Ending looks haphazard and final revelation of Meenakshi Seshadri was cliched, predictible and stupid. See it for yourself to know what I mean. Not as bad as many other Rajesh Khanna movies in the 80's but an oridnary film actually.
