Sippy Scion To Give Modern Twist To Mili, Bawarchi And Koshish

New Delhi: Remember Jaya Bhaduri in Mili; Sanjeev Kumar in Koshish and Rajesh Khanna in Bawarchi? All produced under NC Sippy’s banner and all starring Jaya Bhaduri, these hits of the 1970s will all be remade by Jaadugar Films and Sameer Raj Sippy Productions.

Koshish is a recreation of the 1961 Japanese film titled Happiness of Us Alone. It was directed by Gulzar and starred Sanjeev Kumar and Jaya Bhaduri. It followed a deaf-mute couple who fought against the odds to live a life of dignity. Bawarchi, on the other hand, was directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and was a remake of Tapan Sinha’s 1966 Bengali-language film Galpo Holeo Satti. The film starred Rajesh Khanna and Jaya Bhaduri. In the film, Khanna plays a talented domestic helper who transforms a dysfunctional middle-class family.

The 1975 hit film Milli starred Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri and told the story of a depressed alcoholic and his cheerful neighbour.

The remakes will be set in contemporary times. They are currently in various stages of development but the makers are keen on working on them. According to reports, this was the idea of Sameer Raj Sippy, the grandson of N. C. Sippy and son of Raj Sippy, Wion reported.

 

“I feel movies are about defining moments, interesting enough to share with people, and that’s why I think it’s time we take classic stories and bring them in today’s scenario, with a newer and modern outlook. And that’s the intention behind revisiting Bawarchi, Mili and Koshish. Coming from a legendary family of film makers, and being inspired by the family business, I now want to continue this legacy that has been handed down by my grandfather, N. C. Sippy, my uncle Romu Sippy and my father Raj Sippy,” Sameer Raj Sippy was quoted as saying.
