About Bada Kabutar
In order to extract a huge sum of money from underworld don, Dharamdas, Mama Rampuri and his nephew, Bhola and others kidnap Dharamdas' child, not knowing that Dharamdas' love for money is far greater than his love for his child, and that Dharamdas himself is quite capable of kidnappings and murder himself.
Directed by Deven Verma, Bada Kabutar leans on a strong ensemble — Ashok Kumar, Deven Verma, Keshto Mukherjee — 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 screen titles of 1973.
