Mere Apne (1971) - (Movies To See Before You Die - Drama)

Well, mere apne is a truly great movie.By the way do you know mere apne was a remake of Tapan Sinha\'s bangla film Apanjon.
People talk a lot about satyajit ray ,ritwick ghatak, mrinal sen, but tapan sinha too was a great director and definately among the best all time directors of indian cinema.

You probably already know about ek doctor ki maut and safed haathi, but what is more important is that many great hindi films were actually remakes of tapan sinha\'s movies.
E.g. Gulzar\'s mere apne, ijaazat and lekin were remakes of tapanda\'s films apanjon,jatugriha and khudito pashan respectivey.
Hrishikesh mukherjee\'s arjun pandit and bawarchi were also remakes of tapanda\'s arohi and galpo holeo satyi respectively.
Balraj sahni strarrer kabuliwallah was also a remake of tapanda\'s film of the same name.Sadly, when tapanda made remakes of his own films in hindi himself like sagina mahato and zindagi zindagi ,they floped.
Sorry if you are bored by this long post,was just trying to give some info.
