What happens

Rahgir (The Traveler) is a Bollywood romantic social drama film. It was released in 1969 and directed by Tarun Majumdar. The film was produced by Geetanjali Pictures and had music by Hemant Kumar. A remake of Majumdar's own 1963 Bengali film Palatak, which itself is based on Manoj Basu's novel Angti Chattujjer Vai, the film had Biswajeet playing the central role of Rahgir where his acting "attracted attention". Costarring with Biswajeet were Sandhya Roy, Shashikala, Kanhaiyalal, Iftekhar, Nirupa Roy and Asit Sen. The story is about Biswajeet playing an impetuous young man in search "for the meaning of life" and is regarded as one of his most credible performances. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
