Beautiful films with real actors who played believable characters, romanced their heroines with subtle charm and soulful music.....Amidst plenty of these great middle-of-the-road films, stands out a little-known movie made by Basu Chatterjee.....Chhoti Si Baa t, probably the most lovable romantic comedy movie to ever come out of Hindi cinema.....Long gone is the era in which simple films were made with the sole intention of strumming the chords of your heart..... ...
