Brandi Ki Botal 1939

Brandi Ki Botal is a 1939 Indian Bollywood film released on 1939. Vinayak and Atres classical sequel to the hit Brahmachari (1938) addresses prohibition and Gandhian morality. The naively innocent bachelor Bagaram (Malvanakr/Vinayak), a clerk in a municipal office, has to find some brandy to restore the ill son of his boss, who is also the brother Malati (Meenakshi), whom he secretly loves. Not knowing what brady is, Bargarm gets embroiled in adventures, including a famous scene in a crowded bar. He eventually procures a bottle but his beloved persist in regarding him merely as a brother. Documentar footage of Vallabhabai Patel making a speech about abstinence (include with his permission) had to be removed because of censor objections, as was the ambiguous line by Bagaram who, surrounded by young women, implored the god Krishna to give me a break too. The film was widely attacked for its irreverence towards Hindu tradition but went on to become a perennial commercial hit, establishing Atres scripts as an independent stellar attraction. *.
