Charming portrayal of life in Mumbai

How can constraint living space shared with a joint family impact the love life of a newlywed couple? Glad that someone thought of this problem back in the 70s. No mean family members, no extramarital affairs and no angry young men - a simple story line highlighting struggles of middle class Mumbai. Watch it for natural acting performance, beautiful capture of 70s Mumbai city life and simple pleasures. Pace may seem slower to some, but I loved it.
