Bombai Ka Baboo

Hindi · 1960 · 154 min · drama

Directed by Raj Khosla — Roma Dasgupta · Dev Anand

This 1960 Hindi drama, directed by Raj Khosla and starring Dev Anand and Suchitra Sen, follows two childhood friends whose paths diverge sharply as adults: one becomes a police officer while the other slides into a life of crime. After a violent confrontation forces him to flee Bombay, the criminal takes on a false identity as the long-lost heir of a wealthy family in northern India, growing close to them—including falling for a young woman he must pose as the brother of—while being pressured by a blackmailer to betray their trust. The story, adapted from an O. Henry short tale, builds toward the protagonist being torn between his new family, his criminal past, and the law closing in on him.
