Bemisal’s story
When a deprived boy, brought up in a privileged family and indebted for virtually everything he has, lands in a perplexing situation, life seems unfair to him. There are very few who actually appreciate benevolence showered on them. When it comes to repaying such debt, many of us try to find excuses to avoid the difficult situation. The protagonist, a noble individual and ideal hero, knows that everything he has is owed to his family. He gives up his love and profession without looking back. Bemisal
This was the last movie Hrishikesh Mukherjee did with Amitabh Bachchan as a director. However, their last venture together was Coolie, where Hrishikesh Mukherjee was the editor.
