OUR REVIEW
"Bachpan" A Good Idea Badly Produced !
Mazhar, Baby Madhuri And Dixit Do Well !
This is a picture produced and directed by one of the Wadia Brothers — this time Homi Wadia. This Wadia, like his elder brother, used to specialize in producing nonsensical thrillers. Now he is not producing such pictures but the nonsense of his old thrillers is still to be found in his work. The Wadias are true to their creed and it is futile to expect something amazingly different from them.
"Bachpan" has a good story idea in which a sweet little child makes a brave attempt to woo the iron out of the soul of a strong, despondent man. Gradually the bitter bile of life is replaced by kindly feelings of love and sympathy in the old man, who had been hating the world round him. It is a theme of innocence teaching bitter experience to look at life with a smiling understanding.

Girls seem to have taken the burd en of music these days. Here ai some frnm "Prithviraj Sanyukta," a Shalimar picture.
Dixit, one of our genuine comedians, gives a marvellous performance in "Gold" a Mazhar Art picture.
The writer of the story has made a mess of this theme completely and has given a weak interpretation of the spirit of tho theme with the help of a clumsily written screen story, which has quite a few Wadia brand stunts in it including a horse and a dog. The only thing missing is, fortunately, the old Wadia Ford car.
