Love in Bombay (also marketed under the title Love in Mumbai) is a Hindi film produced and directed by Joy Mukherjee. The film was originally made in 1971 and starred Waheeda Rehman, Sonia Sahni, Rehman, Kishore Kumar, and Ashok Kumar. Joy Mukherjee had also worked in the hit films Love in Simla and Love in Tokyo.[1][2] All the three films are part of Joy Mukherjee's Love in trilogy.[3]
Love in Bombay was not released and was discovered by Mukherjee's son after his death in March 9, 2012.[4][5][6][7][8] It was released on August 2, 2013, 42 years after it was made.
Plot
This film is a simple story of a village boy, Baadal (Joy Mukherjee) who meets a girl from the city, Preeti (Waheeda Rehman) in the most unusual circumstances and the couple eventually fall in love, and wish to get married only to find Preeti’s scheming father, played by Rehman and her fiancé, Roshan try all methods to separate the couple. There’s a lot of drama, jealousy, and a challenge that ensues, but Baadal ends up triumphant through it all. The most fun element was Kishore Kumar‘s character, Ganpat Rao who effortlessly makes you smile from the time he enters the scene. Then there’s the moment of unity for actor brothers, Ashok Kumar and Kishore Kumar which was heartwarming for more reasons than just their screen presence together.

The film was made on a huge budget which caused ample damage to Joy Mukherjee’s career-graph as an actor and director. It was around the same time that he became a forgotten movie star only to be seen on screen again a few months before his demise.
