Deeply saddened to hear about Basu Chatterjee’s passing away.A prolific filmaker, he was the pioneer of what came to be regarded as middle of the road cinema. I was fortunate to have done 3 lovely films with him Swami Apne Paraye and Jeena Yahan. All lifelike characters .RIP pic.twitter.com/tAN5vaTZiY

Basu Chatterjee: unforgettable Choti Si Baat.. your films were like Rajnigandha, always Khatha Meetha which we could enjoy Baaton Baaton Mein. Not to forget Chitchor.. 1970s ‘middle class’ cinema at its best.. RIP
