‘Chhoti Si Bat’ …boohoo Title is notorious rather seedy one, to me..

Happened to gamble away timepiece with this movie last night… Risking my 2/3 hours to watch TV (An exercise I carry out once in a blue moon)

I correlated lots of possessions of environment with this movie.

Movie Synopsis (edited copy from YRajFilm’s Wsite)

Chhoti Si Baat is an appealing, delightful slapstick about a young man who walks wobbly on tracks leading to ‘Filmi love’ because his heart is true but timid. Arun (Amol Palekar) falls in love with Prabha (Vidya Sinha) whom he sees everyday on the bus-stop on his way to work. Not having the nerve or know how to express his love, all he can do is follow her to her office and her home and pine from afar.

(Something known as old-fashioned now a days….taking time to love! has turn out to be an atypical gem!)

Just as he is wondering what to do next, along comes Nagesh (Asrani), Prabha’s brash young colleague who seems leagues ahead of Arun in his pursuit of Prabha. A now desperate Arun seeks the help of Colonel J.N.W. Singh (Ashok Kumar) who tackles the battle of love with the same meticulous planning and ruthless efficiency needed to win a military campaign. He instills in Arun a new self confidence and teaches him the strategies of waging love. Arun returns to Bombay a new man ready to face anything.

Another heart-winning classic from Basu Chatterji, “Chhoti Si Baat” has never faded in its sweet, funny magic. Apart from brilliant performances by Amol Palekar as a painfully shy, fumbling lover whom you so desperately want to see win and Ashok Kumar as the brisk spit ‘n’ polish colonel, the film has Salil Chowdhury’s enchanting melodies woven around some of Yogesh’s best lyrics. “Jaaneman Jaaneman” & “Na Jaane Kyon” remain two of the evergreen hits from this film.

Special Movie for me…

After ages I happened to watch a movie with my parents.
It reflects complex straightforwardness woved in everyone’s life.
Songs are so meaningful and appropriate in da frame.
It reflects fashion & life style of 70s which is almost same today!
I got an entry in my parent’s 20s..! they shared a lot yesterday night…

Somewhere I feel… me iz Arun!
