[1][2][3][4] This film tells the story of a village boy named Baadal, (Joy Mukherjee), who unexpectedly encounters a girl from the city, Preeti, (Waheeda Rehman), under unusual circumstances.
This sets the stage for a dramatic conflict, filled with elements of jealousy and challenges, as Baadal navigates this obstacle in his pursuit of marrying Preeti.
After filmmaker Joy Mukherjee was unable to financially release his film "Love in Bombay" in the 1980s and 1990s, his son Toy took on the task decades later.
Following Joy's passing in 2012, Toy overcame a period of depression to locate the film's negatives, which had been meticulously maintained by his father through annual manual cleaning at a cold storage facility.
Despite 30-40% damage, Toy dedicated over a year to extensively restoring the film through cleaning, color correction, and sound improvements, finally bringing the long-shelved project to a releasable state.
