What happens

Bemisal (English: unparalleled, or, unprecedented) is a 1982 drama film produced by Debesh Gosh and directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. It is a remake of Bengali film Ami, Shey O Shakha (1975) starring Uttam Kumar, which was also based on the Bengali story of the same name by Ashutosh Mukherjee.The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Mehra, Raakhee, Deven Verma, Aruna Irani and Om Shivpuri. The music was by R.D. Burman. When a deprived boy, brought up in a privileged family and indebted for virtually everything he has, lands in a perplexing situation, life seems unfair to him. There are very few who actually appreciate benevolence showered on them. When it comes to repay such debt, many of us try to find excuses to avoid the difficult situation. But the protagonist of this movie is a noble individual, an ideal hero, who knows that everything he has in life, is owed to a family and when he finds himself in a situation where he has to give up his love and profession, he doesn't look back.
