Baghban (English: Gardener) is a 2003 Indian Hindi drama film directed by Ravi Chopra, featuring Hema Malini, Amitabh Bachchan, and Salman Khan in lead roles. Aman Verma, Samir Soni, Saahil Chadha and Nasir Khan portray Bachchan and Malini's four sons. Mahima Chaudhry, Paresh Rawal, Rimi Sen and Lilette Dubey are featured in supporting roles. This film was an unofficial adaptation of highly acclaimed Hollywood film Make Way for Tomorrow.

The film was highly acclaimed,^[1] especially for the on-screen chemistry between Bachchan and Malini who came together after a gap of 20 years from Nastik (1983). Critics^[2] noted that it didn't even seem like they were returning together after a long time since their chemistry was so natural.^[3] Another aspect of the film that was highly acclaimed was the way Bachchan delivers his powerful and emotional speech in the end.^[4]

Make Way for Tomorrow was also the source movie for School Master (Kannada: ಸ್ಕೂಲ್ ಮಾಸ್ಟರ್), an Indian Kannada language movie which was released in 1958. Baghban was remade in Kannada as Ee Bandhana in 2007 starring Vishnuvardhan and Jaya Pradha in the leads.

Plot

The movie tells the story of Pooja Malhotra (Hema Malini), her husband Raj (Amitabh Bachchan), and their four sons Ajay (Aman Verma), Sanjay (Samir Soni), Rohit (Saahil Chadda), and Karan (Nasirr Khan). The couple has provided their children with everything, often at the cost of Pooja’s and Raj’s own requirements. The Malhotras have an adopted son Alok (Salman Khan), who is in love with Arpita (Mahima Chaudhry). Alok was an orphan and Raj provided him with money and education, bringing him up as his own son. Now a successful man, Alok worships Raj because of all his help and thinks of him as his father.

Raj has a flourishing job. But, once he retires, he is unable to support himself and has to vacate the house he and Pooja have shared for years. They decide to live with their kids to enjoy their love and affection. However, their kids do not want them. The children decide to split the parents up, each parent going to live with one of the sons for the next six months. The children think their parents will refuse the offer and therefore, they will remain in their home. However, the parents reluctantly accept the offer.

The parents endure this separation as well as horrible treatment from their children, after all, they have sacrificed for them. Their grandson, Rahul, is the only one who gives Raj love and affection. Saddened by the treatment he has received from his children and their families, Raj writes down his feelings about how he fulfilled his children's dreams and, in return, how they treat him, as well as his love for his wife, and how much pain their separation has caused. His writing eventually becomes a novel. Pooja, meanwhile, endures abuse from her son and daughter-in-law(Suman Ranganathan), as well as her granddaughter, Payal (Rimi Sen). Payal, though, realizes her mistake when Pooja saves her from her boyfriend's sexual advances and nurtures Pooja with love.

While changing their trains after six months, Pooja and Raj spend some time together in Vijaynagar. There they suddenly meet Alok, who takes them to his home and gives them the importance and care which their real sons did not. Raj finds out that his writing has become a published book named Baghban. This book becomes a big hit, selling the first copies immediately. Raj, as a result, gains the money he needs to support himself and Pooja in their old age. Their sons ask their parents for forgiveness to achieve this end. Payal and Rahul (Master Yash Pathak) (Sanjay's son), though, realize their true motives and refuse to come with their parents. Raj is honored for his work, and the four sons attend with their wives. But when they ask Pooja and Raj to forgive them, they instead refuse and disown them for the pain their sons have put them through.

Cast

Production

According to film expert Rajesh Subramanian, B. R. Chopra had planned to make this movie in the mid-eighties, with Dilip Kumar and Raakhee in the lead roles.

Mohnish Behl was offered Aman Verma's role; he did not accept it because he did not want to be portrayed as the father of a 15-year-old girl. Juhi Chawla was selected for the role of Salman Khan's wife but could not accept because of her pregnancy. Shah Rukh Khan was offered the role played by Salman Khan. Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini were paired opposite each other 20 years after Nastik in 1983.

Ravi Chopra, the director of the film, denied that this was a remake of the Rajesh Khanna-Shabana Azmi starrer Avtaar. He said that the plot of that film was about a father seeking revenge on his children while this film just focused on the bond between an old couple. He also commented that just because this film is based on family relations they are comparing it to Avtaar. He said that just because a story revolves around the same relationship it doesn't make it alike as films can explore different aspects of that same relationship.^[6]
