Babu

Babu is a naive young man who likes to go out of his way to help people. He has fallen in love with Kammo, but in the process of helping another, he lands himself in jail for two years. After his discharge, he finds that a lady who had once helped him is now a destitute widow with a small child, Pinky.

Directed by A. C. Tirulokchandar, Babu leans on a strong ensemble — Rajesh Khanna, Hema Malini, Mala Sinha — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1985.
