Piya Ka Ghar
Piya Ka Ghar ( My Beloved's House) is a 1972 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by Basu Chatterjee, and produced by Rajshri Productions, starring Anil Dhawan and Jaya Bachchan. A remake of Raja Thakur's Marathi film Mumbaicha Jawai, it portrays the difficulties of life in Mumbai during the 1970s in the form of a comic family drama. According to film and music expert Rajesh Subramanian, Amol Palekar was the first choice for the lead role, but an unfortunate misunderstanding led to Chatterjee casting Anil Dhawan.
Plot
The two main characters are Ram and Malti. Ram lives in a chawl (tenement) in Mumbai. Malti initially lives in a relatively comfortable home in an unidentified village.
