Gomti Ke Kinare is a 1972 Bollywood drama film, directed by Saawan Kumar Tak in his directorial debut.

[4] Amitabh Bachchan was being considered (to play the hero, opposite Mumtaz) by Saawan Kumar and Meena Kumari.

Sameer lives a poor lifestyle in Bombay with his mother, Ganga, and maternal uncle, Nekiram.

Nekiram works at a petrol pump, and his mother paints pictures and statuettes of Hindu deities.

His idyllic lifestyle is shattered when a rival businessman, Chaganmal, alleges that Sameer's mother was actually Gangabai, a Lucknow-based courtesan (tawaif), who was never married, and that Nekiram is not his maternal uncle.
