The inimitable Naseeruddin Shah played the memorable role of Pirojshah Pithawala in this Vijaya Mehta film that was shot way back in 1988.

Others featured in the film were Anupam Kher and Shabana Azmi.

Naseer -– undoubtedly one of the finest actors India has ever produced -– played a Parsi man who is a slow mover in life.

He falls in love with his best friend’s wife, and turns her protector.

The film portrayed the life of Parsis in Bombay and is really worth a watch for Nasser’s performance.

Nana Patekar agrees that Naseer is the most talented actor in the Indian film industry and it is very unfortunate for him not to get brilliant roles.

“Naseer is 100 out of 100 and I am not even 35 out of 100 when you compare my acting with him,” says Nana Patekar.
