Bollywood Film Review<\/h3>\n
\"\"A moving story about a father who tried all he can to bring happiness into his daughter-in-law’s life<\/strong><\/font><\/em>
Director: <\/span>Ravi Chopra<\/strong>
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Salman Khan, Rani Mukherjee, John Abraham, <\/strong><\/span>Om Puri<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Balraj Kapoor (Amitabh Bachchan) is a rich businessman with a modern outlook on life. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

For him, family, culture and traditional values are of utmost importance. He is fully supported by his loving wife, Shobhna (Hema Malini). The couple has a son called Avinash (Salman Khan).<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

For Balraj, Avinash is more of a friend than just his son. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

After spending years abroad for further studies, Avinash returns home to his parents. This is a period in their lives which has been the happiest ever.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Soon, Avinash comes across Millie (Rani Mukherjee) who is a painter by profession. It is not long before they fall in love and get married. They are blessed with a lovely child named Ansh. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Rajat (John Abraham), a musician, has always been a close friend to Millie but has never revealed his feelings to her. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

He is now happy, seeing Avinash and Millie living a blissful married life. So he decides to immigrate to Europe where he can pursue his musical career.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The twist comes when Avinash dies in a fatal accident leaving Millie totally heartbroken.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Balraj and Shobhna try to find comfort due to their loss in Ansh. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Seeing Millie in this sad state, Balraj decides to find Rajat and ask him to marry Millie.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

But Balwant (Om Puri), Balraj’s elder brother, settled in rural Punjab and his widowed sister-in-law, objects to Balraj’s plans. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

He strongly believes in Indian traditions that support his family honour and reputation. He will go to any length to uphold that. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Even his wife, Shobhna does not agree with Balraj’s intentions. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So, will Balraj be able to fulfill his plan? Will he prove to be a father (Baabul<\/em>) rather than being a father-in-law? And what will society think about Balraj’s idea? <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The moving drama being released by Adlabs in the UK, has the answers.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Ravi Chopra’s previous film, Bhagban<\/em> was extremely popular with the UK audience due to its underlying message of looking after the elders in the family. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So judging by this, Baabul<\/em> is predicted to be an instant when it releases this December.<\/div>\n
