I saw the movie in 1976 in Regal Cinema Hall in New Delhi. It is an excellent movie and I would rate it it better than Arohi,the Bengali adoption of Banaphul's writings. It is one of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's memorable creations. S D Burman's music was ordinary. Tamil actress Srividya had a small role. Ashok Kumar played the role of a village doctor, assisted by Sanjeev Kumar whom he converted from an illiterate villager to a compounder. Unfortunately, I haven't come across the VCD. If anyone can help.I haven't come across in the television,ever.I have, extensively, tried in Mumbai and Delhi to get the CD but not been fortunate enough.
