Sippy and Romu N. Sippy. The film stars an [[ensemble cast]] of [[Rajesh Khanna]], [[Abhimaan (1973 film)|Jaya Bhaduri]], [[Harindranath Chattopadhyay]], [[Asrani]], [[A. K. Hangal]], [[Karz (film)|Durga Khote]], [[Namak Haraam|Manisha]], [[Kali Banerjee]] and [[Chupke Chupke (film)|Usha Kiran]]. The film is a remake of [[Rabi Ghosh]] starrer Bengali film ''[[Galpo Holeo Satti]]'' (1966) by [[Tapan Sinha]]. The film was ranked the eighth highest-grossing film of 1972. In an interview, Khanna quoted &quot;In ''Bawarchi'', I did exactly the opposite of what Hrishida had made me do in ''[[Anand (1971 film)|Anand]]'' (1971). He allowed me to interpret the role and perform my way. I had done enough intense roles, and ''Bawarchi'' gave me the opportunity to interpret and perform the role the way I wanted. So I let myself go.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/bawarchi-1972/article5451711.ece|title=Bawarchi (1972)|first=SURESH|last=KOHLI}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Mukherjee's style here is typical, in that the film contains no violence, and focuses rather on &quot;the milieu of the Indian middle-class who have larger-than-life foibles and whose major concern is to survive the day [...:] which ''bahu'' will cook, which brother will use the bathroom first, who will get up first to make the morning tea, [etc.]&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Rammesh, ''Human Cinema: The Films of Hrishikesh Mukherjee'' (Chennai: Notion Press, 2018), 141-43. {{ISBN|164324955X}} and https://books.google.com/books?id=azlpDwAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PT141&lt;/ref&gt; Khanna won his second BFJA Awards for Best Actor (Hindi) for his performance in this film.<br /> <br /> The film is a remake of the Bengali film ''[[Galpo Holeo Satti]]'' (1966) by [[Tapan Sinha]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/galpa-holeo-satyi-the-family-as-a-microcosm-of-the-nation/article8991071.ece|title=The family as a microcosm of the nation|first=Hari|last=Narayan}}&lt;/ref&gt; The film was remade in Tamil as ''Samayalkaaran'' with [[M. K. Muthu]]. It was remade twice in Kannada - first as ''Sakala Kala Vallabha'', starring Shashikumar and second as ''[[No 73, Shanthi Nivasa]]'', with [[Sudeep]]. It served as a great inspiration for the 1997 Hindi film ''[[Hero No. 1]]''.<br /> <br /> ==Synopsis==<br /> The story is centered around the squabbling Sharma family, headed by their eccentric Daduji ([[Harindranath Chattopadhyay]]), which has a dubious reputation of the inability to retain a cook for more than a few months due to their ill treatment of their domestic helps. The family's disrepute spreads to such an extent that no person wants to be employed as a cook in their home, named Shanti Niwas (abode of peace).<br /> <br /> Then one day a young man named Raghu ([[Rajesh Khanna]]) offers to work as a cook, and is hired. Raghu, however, lives up to this challenge and becomes the apple of the eye of every inmate of Shanti Niwas. He even defuses the internal squabbles and re-unites the family. But is Raghu's slate clean, or is there more to his character?<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> <br /> The film starts by the introduction of Shanti Niwas and its residents by [[Amitabh Bachchan]], who is the narrator here. He points out that Shanti Niwas is a pot of ironies: Even though its name means &quot;Home of Peace&quot;, there is no peace here. The home, which houses the Sharma family, has members who hate each other for reasons unknown. Even a servant cannot withstand the Sharmas for more than a month.<br /> <br /> After every month, the search for a new servant has to start. Then, suddenly a servant named Raghu comes in. Even though nobody remembers asking for Raghu, they hire him. But Raghu has his own surprises in store for them. Gradually, the whole home comes to know that Raghu is not only an accomplished chef, but also an expert singer and dancer.<br /> <br /> Raghu tells his masters that he worked for reputed veterans of given fields, who taught him something or the other. Gradually, many aces start falling out of his sleeves, causing the Sharmas to develop an attraction to him. Even Daduji, the disgruntled patriarch of the family, develops love for Raghu. The family puts so much trust in Raghu that they even unwittingly show him the box containing the family jewels.<br /> <br /> Krishna ([[Jaya Bhaduri]]) is the recluse daughter of Daduji's dead son and daughter-in-law. On learning this, Raghu tutors her and brings her talents to the fore. He also helps in clearing up the misunderstandings and calling truces between the family members. Daduji cannot help but think that Raghu is actually a saviour sent by god. Meanwhile, nobody notices that Raghu is suspiciously eyeing the jewel box the whole time.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raghu learns that Krishna loves a boy named Arun, but the Sharmas are strictly against the union of Krishna with him. The boy also loves Krishna, but is helpless before Krishna's relatives as well. Amongst all the tangle, Raghu suddenly disappears. The Sharmas are also aghast to know that the box is missing as well.<br /> <br /> It does not take the Sharmas long to put two and two together. At the same time, Arun shows up. The people are already angered at the turn of events and the boy's arrival, but they receive a shock when he shows them the jewelry box. He explains that he saw Raghu in a suspicious condition with the box. When he asked Raghu about the box, Raghu tried to run away. He tried to stop Raghu, even beat him up (the boy is a wrestler), but Raghu somehow managed to escape.<br /> <br /> Stunned by this unexpected turn of events, the attitude of Sharmas towards Arun changes and they agree to get him married with Krishna out of gratitude. Krishna, however, refuses to buy the story. When the Sharmas start abusing Raghu, Arun wasn't able to take it anymore and tells them what really happened.<br /> <br /> He tells them that he met Raghu at his own wrestling ground. He had a little friendly match with Raghu, where he suffered minor injuries from Raghu. He saw the box and asked Raghu about it. Raghu said that the box was the real reason he came there. Raghu had asked him to take the box to the Sharmas and tell them that Raghu had stolen it so that Krishna's lover can get back his place in the house.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Krishna sees Raghu outside the house and asks him why did he do all this. Raghu told her that his real name was professor Prabhakar, but he took the fake name of Raghu. He had seen many families like the Sharmas which were on the brink of breaking up and hence decided to use his knowledge to stop this.<br /> <br /> Raghu explained to him that if he lies about the box and what happened between him and Raghu, the boy will be able to marry Krishna. Raghu had promised the boy to secrecy, but the latter couldn't stand up the abuse to Raghu. A stunned Sharma family has to accept that Raghu went out of his way to save several homes like Shanti Niwas. Krishna manages to stop Raghu in time from going somewhere else.<br /> <br /> Raghu tells her that this is his life's mission and now he has to go. The film ends with a scene of him traveling to a new destination and narration from [[Amitabh Bachchan]] that &quot;Raghu is going to a new home. Let's hope it is not yours.&quot;<br /> <br /> The movie was a hit. It was the 8th highest-grossing film of the year.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/bawarchi-1972/article5451711.ece|title=Bawarchi (1972)|last=Kohli|first=Suresh|date=12 December 2013|work=[[The Hindu]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160824011654/http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/bawarchi-1972/article5451711.ece|archive-date=23 August 2016|access-date=23 August 2016}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> *[[Rajesh Khanna]] as Raghu (Bawarchi) / Professor Prabhakar <br /> *[[Jaya Bhaduri]] as Krishna Sharma<br /> *[[Usha Kiran]] as Shobha Sharma (Choti maa)<br /> *[[Harindranath Chattopadhyay]] as Shivnath Sharma (Daduji)<br /> *[[A.

He is the tenant of a stingy landlord named Mr. Vishwas Sarpotdar ([[Sudhir Joshi]]) and is soon joined by his younger brother Shantanu ([[Siddharth Ray]]), who is a [[Medicine|medical]] student. Though prohibited by Mr. Sarpotdar, Dhananjay and Shantanu allow their [[Kolhapur]]-based childhood friends Sudhir ([[Maza Pati Karodpati|Sachin Pilgaonkar]]) and Parshuram ([[Laxmikant Berde]]), also known as Parshya, to secretly live with them as they both have come to Pune in search of jobs. Sudhir has been kicked out by his abusive uncle (Suhas Bhalekar) where he also worked to earn money and pay for his singing classes. Meanwhile, Parshya has been kicked out by his employer Chhaburao ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]), a drama contractor, because he finds out that Parshya is in love with his daughter Kamli ([[Priya Arun|Priya Arun Berde]]). One midnight, Dhananjay, Sudhir and Parshya insult Mr. Sarpotdar in a drunken state and are taken away from his house by Shantanu who arrives at the scene a little late. Enraged by his harassment, Mr. Sarpotdar orders the four friends to vacate the place within four days. <br /> <br /> After several unsuccessful attempts in finding rented accommodation, Dhananjay and Shantanu finally come across the palatial house of a rich, old, kind and cataractic widow named Leelabai Kalbhor (Nayantara), who lives with her shrewd domestic worker Tanu (Gulab Korgaonkar) and is often harassed by her estranged nephew Bali ([[Viju Khote]]) for her money. She is willing to rent some rooms at her house provided that her tenants are married couples. In order to comply with Leelabai's condition, Dhananjay and Shantanu have no other option but to force Sudhir and Parshya to dress as women and thus begins the comedy of errors; Parshya shaves off his moustache and transforms himself into &quot;Parvati&quot;, Dhananjay's wife, while Sudhir transforms himself into &quot;Sudha&quot;, Shantanu's wife. Shortly after the arrival of the four friends at Leelabai's residence as married couples, Leelabai's niece Manisha ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]) and her childhood friend Sushma ([[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Joshi Saraf]]), who is also coincidentally Shantanu's girlfriend from [[Miraj]], come to stay with Leelabai for some months. <br /> <br /> Sudhir, now a successful [[Singing|singer]] and music educator, falls in love with Manisha and courts her in his original form, stating that he is the twin brother of Sudha and that he is disappointed with her marriage with Shantanu and is thus not on talking terms with both Sudha and Shantanu. On the other hand, Shantanu, having passed to become a successful doctor, cooks up a fake story of the deadly stomach cancer of Sudha in front of Sushma as she is deeply upset at his betrayal with her and his marriage with Sudha. Elsewhere, Parshya reunites with Kamli when she comes to Pune with Chhaburao's drama troupe and also shares the news of Parshya having become a successful playwright back in Kolhapur. Meanwhile, Madhuri is heartbroken to see Dhananjay married with Parvati during her visit at Leelabai's residence, but Dhananjay confides the truth in Madhuri through a letter and the two eventually confess their love for each other. <br /> <br /> While the four friends develop a bond of motherly love with Leelabai, Tanu confides in Bali the truth about Parvati and Sudha's true identities after she notices Parshya's wig and Sudhir wearing earrings while jumping out from the window in his original form. Eventually, the four friends decide to leave Leelabai's house after finding a new accommodation with the help of Madhuri, but on their way out, they all are fatefully exposed by Bali in front of Leelabai, Manisha and Sushma and are handed over to the police called in by Tanu. However, at the police station, Leelabai surprisingly disowns Bali as her nephew and absolves the four friends of their deception instead because she genuinely feels that the four friends staged the drama out of their desperate need for a roof over their heads and that their intention was not to steal from her or take advantage of her cataract and that they treated her only like their own mother if anything. Hence, Leelabai decides to take them all in as her own sons with the marriages of Dhananjay, Sudhir, Parshya and Shantanu with Madhuri, Manisha, Kamli and Sushma, respectively.

Released in [[Maharashtra]] on 23 September 1988 and now considered to be a [[cult film]] in [[Marathi cinema]], the film stars [[Ashok Saraf]], Sachin Pilgaonkar, [[Laxmikant Berde]] and [[Siddharth Ray]] opposite [[Ashwini Bhave]], [[Supriya Pilgaonkar]], [[Priya Arun|Priya Arun Berde]] and [[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Joshi Saraf]] along with Nayantara, [[Viju Khote]] and [[Sudhir Joshi]] in supporting roles.&lt;ref&gt;{{IMDb title|0267277}}&lt;/ref&gt; The film revolves around four friends who are searching for rented accommodation when a landlady insists only on married couples, so two of the friends are forced to dress as women and pretend to be the wives of the other two. The film borrows the basic plot from the Hrishikesh Mukherjee's ''[[Biwi Aur Makan]]'' (1966) which was based on the [[Bengali language|Bengali]] film ''Joy Maa Kali Boarding'',&lt;ref&gt;https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/marathi/movies/photofeatures/laxmikant-berde-superhit-comedy-films-of-the-actor-you-should-not-&lt;/ref&gt; and was remade in [[Kannada]] as ''Olu Saar Bari Olu'' (2003), in [[Hindi]] as ''[[Paying Guests]]'' (2009), in Punjabi as ''[[Mr &amp; Mrs 420]]'' (2014) and in Bengali as ''[[Jio Pagla]]'' (2017).&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web | url=http://www.livemint.com/Consumer/KYhiSTqNNAPN9bzm8JlAhP/Ten-Marathi-films-remade-in-other-languages.html |title = Ten Marathi films remade in other languages|date = 11 September 2017}}&lt;/ref&gt; The film was also an inspiration for the 1991 [[Telugu language|Telugu]] film ''[[Chitram Bhalare Vichitram]]'' which was remade in Kannada as ''[[Bombat Hendthi]]'' (1992) and in Tamil as ''[[Aanazhagan]]'' (1995).<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> Dhananjay Mane ([[Ashok Saraf]]) is a street-smart salesman in a cosmetics store in [[Pune]] and is in love with his employer Madhuri ([[Ashwini Bhave]]). He is the tenant of a stingy landlord named Mr. Vishwas Sarpotdar ([[Sudhir Joshi]]) and is soon joined by his younger brother Shantanu ([[Siddharth Ray]]), who is a [[Medicine|medical]] student. Though prohibited by Mr. Sarpotdar, Dhananjay and Shantanu allow their [[Kolhapur]]-based childhood friends Sudhir ([[Maza Pati Karodpati|Sachin Pilgaonkar]]) and Parshuram ([[Laxmikant Berde]]), also known as Parshya, to secretly live with them as they both have come to Pune in search of jobs. Sudhir has been kicked out by his abusive uncle (Suhas Bhalekar) where he also worked to earn money and pay for his singing classes. Meanwhile, Parshya has been kicked out by his employer Chhaburao ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]), a drama contractor, because he finds out that Parshya is in love with his daughter Kamli ([[Priya Arun|Priya Arun Berde]]). One midnight, Dhananjay, Sudhir and Parshya insult Mr. Sarpotdar in a drunken state and are taken away from his house by Shantanu who arrives at the scene a little late. Enraged by his harassment, Mr. Sarpotdar orders the four friends to vacate the place within four days. <br /> <br /> After several unsuccessful attempts in finding rented accommodation, Dhananjay and Shantanu finally come across the palatial house of a rich, old, kind and cataractic widow named Leelabai Kalbhor (Nayantara), who lives with her shrewd domestic worker Tanu (Gulab Korgaonkar) and is often harassed by her estranged nephew Bali ([[Viju Khote]]) for her money. She is willing to rent some rooms at her house provided that her tenants are married couples. In order to comply with Leelabai's condition, Dhananjay and Shantanu have no other option but to force Sudhir and Parshya to dress as women and thus begins the comedy of errors; Parshya shaves off his moustache and transforms himself into &quot;Parvati&quot;, Dhananjay's wife, while Sudhir transforms himself into &quot;Sudha&quot;, Shantanu's wife. Shortly after the arrival of the four friends at Leelabai's residence as married couples, Leelabai's niece Manisha ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]) and her childhood friend Sushma ([[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Joshi Saraf]]), who is also coincidentally Shantanu's girlfriend from [[Miraj]], come to stay with Leelabai for some months. <br /> <br /> Sudhir, now a successful [[Singing|singer]] and music educator, falls in love with Manisha and courts her in his original form, stating that he is the twin brother of Sudha and that he is disappointed with her marriage with Shantanu and is thus not on talking terms with both Sudha and Shantanu. On the other hand, Shantanu, having passed to become a successful doctor, cooks up a fake story of the deadly stomach cancer of Sudha in front of Sushma as she is deeply upset at his betrayal with her and his marriage with Sudha. Elsewhere, Parshya reunites with Kamli when she comes to Pune with Chhaburao's drama troupe and also shares the news of Parshya having become a successful playwright back in Kolhapur. Meanwhile, Madhuri is heartbroken to see Dhananjay married with Parvati during her visit at Leelabai's residence, but Dhananjay confides the truth in Madhuri through a letter and the two eventually confess their love for each other. <br /> <br /> While the four friends develop a bond of motherly love with Leelabai, Tanu confides in Bali the truth about Parvati and Sudha's true identities after she notices Parshya's wig and Sudhir wearing earrings while jumping out from the window in his original form. Eventually, the four friends decide to leave Leelabai's house after finding a new accommodation with the help of Madhuri, but on their way out, they all are fatefully exposed by Bali in front of Leelabai, Manisha and Sushma and are handed over to the police called in by Tanu. However, at the police station, Leelabai surprisingly disowns Bali as her nephew and absolves the four friends of their deception instead because she genuinely feels that the four friends staged the drama out of their desperate need for a roof over their heads and that their intention was not to steal from her or take advantage of her cataract and that they treated her only like their own mother if anything. Hence, Leelabai decides to take them all in as her own sons with the marriages of Dhananjay, Sudhir, Parshya and Shantanu with Madhuri, Manisha, Kamli and Sushma, respectively.
