'''''The Householder''''' ([[Hindi]] title: ''Gharbar'') is a 1963 film by [[Merchant Ivory Productions]], with a screenplay by [[Ruth Prawer Jhabvala]] and [[James Ivory]], and direction of [[James Ivory]]. It is based upon the 1960 [[The Householder (novel)|novel of the same name]] by Jhabvala.

This was the first collaboration between producer [[Ismail Merchant]] and director [[James Ivory]], a documentary filmmaker until then. They went on to make nearly forty films together, many of which were written by [[Ruth Prawer Jhabvala]], who also wrote screenplays adapted from literary classics for them, such as ''[[Henry James]]'<nowiki/>'' ''[[The Europeans (1979 film)|The Europeans]]'' (1979) and ''[[The Bostonians (film)|The Bostonians]]'' (1984), ''[[E.M. Forster]]'''s ''[[A Room with a View (1985 film)|A Room with a View]]'' (1985) and ''[[Howards End (film)|Howards End]]'' (1992), and ''[[Peter Cameron (writer)|Peter Cameron]]''‘s ''[[The City of Your Final Destination]]'' (2009).

==Synopsis==
Prem Sagar ([[Shashi Kapoor]]), a teacher at a private college in [[Delhi]], marries Indu ([[Leela Naidu]]) in an arranged marriage and is still learning his role in the marriage, when the arrival of his mother ([[Durga Khote]]) spells doom to their budding relationship. Indu, unable to handle his mother's interference in the marriage, leaves Prem to return to her family. Prem searches for answers from a variety of people, including a Swami ([[Pahari Sanyal]]), who reveals the secret of a successful marriage, and as a result, Prem finally gains the maturity to love his wife.<ref>[http://www.screenrush.co.uk/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=105086.html The Householder] screenrush.</ref>

==Production==

Ivory had shot the documentary ''[[The Delhi Way]]'' and was editing it in New York, when he met anthropologist Gitel Steed, who was developing a project based on her screenplay, ''Devgar'' about a village in Gujarat. Ismail Merchant was producing the film and had started getting together the finances for the film. [[Sidney Meyers]] was the director, while Ivory agreed to shoot the film, whose cast included Shashi Kapoor, Durga Khote and Leela Naidu. When the film fell through due to lack of complete financing, Merchant suggested the idea of ''The Householder'', and the same cast was used. The film cost $125,000, with some of the money Ivory had borrowed from his father. It was made in two versions, Hindi and English, the latter was picked up for distribution in the United Kingdom by [[Columbia Pictures]].<ref name="IvoryLong2005">{{cite book|author1=James Ivory|author2=Robert Emmet Long|title=James Ivory in Conversation: How Merchant Ivory Makes Its Movies|url=https://archive.org/details/jamesivoryinconv0000ivor|url-access=registration|year=2005|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-23415-4|pages=[https://archive.org/details/jamesivoryinconv0000ivor/page/67 67]–68}}</ref><ref name="imdbcompany">{{Cite web|title=The Householder (1963) - Company Credits|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057162/companycredits|access-date=August 22, 2020|website=IMDb}}</ref>

In an uncredited assist, he supervised the film's music production and re-cut the film for Merchant and Ivory. He also lent his cameraman, [[Subrata Mitra]], as the director of photography, and as a result the film is infused with the fluid, restrained lyricism that characterizes Ray's work.<ref name=cd/><ref>[http://www.merchantivory.com/householder.html ''The Householder'' overview at Merchant Ivory website]</ref>
