This movie is a remake of an old Hindi Hit and Rajesh Khanna is playing the lead role. The movie is a tear jerker and is a good social drama. The movie has average music of Bappi Lahiri- but the supportive cast fails in delivering to the standards of Super Star Rajesh Khanna. Chunky Pande, Neelam and Dipika do not come close to the performance of Rajesh Khanna and seem a miscast. The direction and editing of the movie is okay, story is good and Rajesh Khanna's performance is excellent. However, it fails to get the support from the other cast members who do not look convincing at all. It is a must see for Rajesh Khanna fans and for people who like to see good family drama. It is a msut for Rajesh Khanna fans as he is superb in his role.

Neat Family drama

Warning: Spoilers
Ghar Ka Chirag is a neat family entertainer. Though the story is not new, the treatment makes for fairly interesting viewing. The film is close to 3 hours long & does drag at times. The music by Bappiu Lahiri is a letdown.
Performance wise, Neelam is quite good. Chunky Pandey is OK. The kid is fairly OK.
Rajesh Khanna has given a heart warming performance. His affection towards his "son", the dejection when his son ignores him & starts getting close to Chunky , his helplessness when he is insulted by chunky & finally when he shoots himself in the climax, once again proves what an excellent performer he is.
The film did moderately well in Mumbai & did great business in UP & Bengal.
The refreshing aspect is that this is a film without any violence or vulgarity.
All in all, a movie to be watched with family & a must see for Rajesh Khanna fans.
