Bombai Ka Babu (1960), despite its intriguing premise and star-studded cast, failed to resonate with audiences upon release, receiving a lukewarm response. The film, directed by Raj Khosla and written by Rajinder Singh Bedi, tells the story of Babu (Dev Anand), a petty criminal who accidentally kills his friend Bali and, under the pressure of another lawbreaker, is forced to impersonate as the son of a wealthy man, Shahji (Nazir Hussain). In this new guise, Babu is perceived as the brother of Shahji's daughter, Maya (Suchitra Sen), and must uphold a moral facade, never crossing the line of decency. Despite its unconventional narrative, which could have been a compelling exploration of morality, deception and identity, Bombai Ka Babu didn't initially find favour with audiences.

बम्बई का बाबू (1960) अपनी दिलचस्प कहानी और सितारों से सजी अभिनेताओं की सूची के बावजूद रिलीज़ के समय दर्शकों को आकर्षित करने में विफल रही। इस फ़िल्म की पटकथा उर्दू और हिन्दी के नामचीन अफ़सानानिगार राजिन्दर सिंह बेदी ने लिखी थी और इसके निर्देशक राज खोसला थे। फ़िल्म की कहानी एक नौजवान बाबू (देव आनंद) के इर्द-गिर्द आगे बढ़ती है। बाबू एक छोटा-मोटा अपराधी है, जिससे भूलवश अपने ही दोस्त बाली का खून हो जाता है। एक दूसरे अपराधी के दबाव में आकर बाबू शाहजी (नज़ीर हुसैन) नाम के एक रईस इंसान के बेटे के रूप में खुद को पेश करने के लिए मजबूर हो जाता है। इस नए भेस में बाबू अब शाहजी की बेटी माया (सुचित्रा सेन) का भाई है और भले ही यह झूठा रिश्ता हो, इसे निभाने के लिए उसे किसी भी हालत में नैतिकता और शालीनता का दामन छोड़ना नहीं है। प्यार, नैतिकता और धोखे से बुनी अपनी लीक से हटकर कहानी के बावजूद बम्बई का बाबू को दर्शकों का साथ नहीं मिला। शायद फिल्म में बाबू और माया के बीच के रिश्ता, जो कथित रूप से भाई-बहन के बीच रोमांस का आभास देता था, उस वक्त के लिए कुछ ज़्यादा ही क्रांतिकारी विचार था। दर्शकों द्वारा फ़िल्म को नकारे जाने की एक यह...
