Synopsis : Old Shivnath was the head of the Sharma family, apposition that
brought to him more problems than peace. It was a large joint
family. Grown-up sons, their wives and children. Also daughter,
Krishna who has lost her parents in a fatal motor accident. Yet
this was a house divided among itself; suffering at all times from
discord and disharmony. When everything seemed to have been
lost, there came a man. A cook, but no ordinary Bawarchi (Rajesh
Khanna) this, though the dishes he served were never less than
delicious. In fact, his extraordinary capabilities made the family
look at him with suspicion. They could not help wondering how a
mere cook could sing, dance, write and recite poems. Why, they
wondered, should such a man take up employment as a cook?
These suspicions quickly disappeared. It took the Bawarchi very
little time to win over the entire family with his deep and
sympathetic understanding of every problem and his endearing
love for everyone. Under his stewardship, the unhappy house was
transformed into an earthly paradise. The Bawarchi had
performed a miracle, no more, no less. Then, one fine morning,
every valuable, every paise in the house disappeared and the
Bawarchi was nowhere to be found. Could he have cunningly
waited for just such an opportunity to commit such a disgraceful
crime? Or could he be..?
