சோட்டி சி பாத் - Chhoti Si Baat

Chhoti Si Baat is a 1975 Hindi romantic comedy film directed by Basu Chatterjee. The film's title means "Such a Small Thing" in Hindi. Considered one of the best Hindi comedy films of the 1970s, it is a nostalgic favourite for its quirky take on pre-hypercongestion Bombay. The film became a box office hit and also earned Filmfare nominations and a Filmfare Award for Best Screenplay for Basu Chatterjee. It also established Amol Palekar as having an uncommon comic talent for playing mousy characters, a role he would go on to repeat several times in his career. This movie is based on "School for Scoundrels", a 1960 British Comedy which itself was based on the "Gamesmanship" series of books by Stephen Potter.

As with other Basu Chatterjee films, moviestars have small cameos playing themselves: Dharmendra and Hema Malini (whose mother Jaya Chakravarthy helped produce the film) are in a movie-within-a-movie for the song "Janneman janneman," while Amitabh Bachchan plays himself in another scene, where he seeks advice from Ashok Kumar's character. He is dressed in costume from Zameer (1974 film), whose film poster is prominently displayed at the bus stop scenes in "Chhoti Si Baat." B.R. Chopra, is the producer for Zameer (1974 film), just as he is for "Chhoti Si Baat."

1975ல் கல்லூரி காலத்தில் விரும்பி பார்த்த இந்திப் படம்.  இதனுடைய பாடல்கள் சில சமயம் உதடுகளில் முணுமுணுப்பது உண்டு. காதலும் நையாண்டியும் கலந்த Chhoti Si Baat ஐ மறக்க முடியாது.

பி.ஆர். சோப்ரா தயாரித்த அமோல் பலேகர் நடித்த இந்த படம் அப்போது ஹிட்டாகி ஓடியது.
