Follows the chaotic life of a family, and how, the Bawarchi( Rajesh Khanna ), manages to bring everything into perspective for the family. Hrishikesh Mukherjee again shows that how even a small budget can be used to produce a great movie. Most of the movie is shot inside the a house. Lot of good observations on the Indian family made during the movie. Did I mention that it is very funny also? In short, a must see movie.
