And I can readily believe that this is way better than the Hindi version. <i>Bawarchi</i>, nice as it was, could've been a much better film if only Rajesh Khanna could've been induced to <i>act</i>! I don't think I've seen Rabi Ghosh in anything so far - and this sounds like an ideal place to start.

I remember I liked the Bengali version of Bawarchi only because of him. I had the good fortune of meeting Robi Ghosh. He and dad were working together in Satyakam and dad invited him over. I was then just a kid but I remember I found him quite entertaining and a very nice man.Shilpi Bosehttp://www.adopinions.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198562188041424715.post-21917025742661926792010-08-21T11:41:09.316-07:002010-08-21T11:41:09.316-07:00@Dustedoff: Yes, this one is much much better.
