Bawarchi (1972)
3/10
A bad twist towards the end ruined it for me

Hrishikesh Mukherjee movies used to be like this. Not much drama ,thin plot, an atmosphere of simplicity and all sincere characters.His characters follow same kind of behavior throughout the movie and we start loving them for it.

Same is the case with Bawarchi. Story goes like - A typical urban family of the seventies have some problems with in it. Then comes a buttler in form of Rajesh Khanna to transform their lives. But then, he ran away with their jewels(This is not a spoiler as it was shown in the trailer) . Why did he do so? Was he a theif, a fraud, or what ? All I can reveal is that I didn't like the ending.

This part may contain spoiler: I don't often like the character which are just plain too good or too bad. In Mukherjee's other films like Anand and Golmaal, the one dimensional characters were didn't seem to be weakening the story ,but in Bawarchi, they does. They are not as believable as we see in Mukherjee's other films.

Acting is not subtle, but everyone did just what was required.

How much you like this movie, depends on what type of films you like the most. If you love fairy tales and feel good movies, this one is for you.
