Chhoti Si Baat

Arun is a timid accountant in Bombay who dreams of romancing Prabha, but is too shy to share his feelings. While Arun twiddles his thumbs, the suave Nagesh steps into the picture and turns on the heat, prompting Arun to take "love coaching" from "romance specialist" Julius Nagendranath to win Prabha back.

Directed by Basu Chatterjee, Chhoti Si Baat leans on a strong ensemble — Amol Palekar, Vidya Sinha, Ashok Kumar — 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 1976.
