A popular singer marries the daughter of a retired teacher but when her singing becomes more popular than his he becomes filled with anger and jealously that spiral out of control.
Directed by India's master storyteller Raj Kapoor, 1973's Bobby signalled the end of an era of action and patriotic-themed films and the entrance of romance into Bollywood. With its unforgettable songs, vibrant imagery and powerfully sensitive handling of the story, it set a precedent for all subsequent love stories in Indian Cinema, and also marked the debut of celebrated actress Dimple Kapadia who, with her innocent looks and daring outfits, stole the hearts of Indian men. Bobby is the story of Raj (Rishi Kapoor), the poor little rich boy who has everything but the love and attention he craves, and Bobby (Dimple Kapadia), the granddaughter of his old maid in whom he finds love and support. Interwoven with this innocent love story are the very real issues of modern India's social and class inequalities as the film explores the theme of relationships versus wealth. The two sets of parents, with their social and financial differences, make it impossible for the young lovers to be together. What follows is a touching tale of how the pair fights society and their parents, proving that love does conquer all and that a big bank balance does not automatically provide respectability. On the DVD: Bobby on disc is presented in Hindi with English subtitles. Sound is remastered 5.1 Dolby Digital. The special features include excerpts from recent Yashraj Film classics such as Mohabbatein and Dilwale Dulhaniya le Jayenge. --Anika Puri
