Gulzar and Hrishikesh Mukherjee

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the ’70s cinema was the polar opposite of today’s offerings, their slice-of-life stories in stark contrast to our current trend of larger-than-life movies. And who captured the joys and anguish of everyday life on screen better than the late Hrishikesh Mukherjee, and Gulzar? In an attempt to remind viewers of the charm of human dramas, Mrs Undercover director Anushree Mehta and her business partner Abir Sengupta are revisiting the noted filmmakers’ classics—Mukherjee’s Bawarchi (1972) and Mili (1975), and Gulzar’s Koshish (1972).
