Rabindranath Tagore’s short story Kabuliwala made our childhood. If it wasn’t for Tagore, our childhood would have been slightly different and less beautiful.
Taking us down the memory lane comes Danny Denzongpa’s ‘Bioscopewala’, an adaptation of Tagore’s classic story. While Kabuliwala has its own place in your heart, ‘Bioscopewala’ is as engrossing as a movie can get.

Danny as bioscopewala is every bit intriguing and the story takes forward from where
Kabuliwala ends. Giving the classic old tale a new twist is Deb Medhekar’s ‘Bioscopewala’, an adaptation of Tagore’s famous short story.
For people who don’t know, Kabuliwala (1892) is a story that touches your heart and soul. In Tagore’s story, he was a dry fruit seller from Afghanistan who becomes friends with a young girl, Mini. Their friendship grows and he exchanges various stories with her. All of a sudden he disappears, only to appear once again after a long time. He meets his little friend, only to realise things have changed and she is not that young anymore.
