Thodisi Bewafaii is a drama film directed by Esmayeel Shroff. The film stars Late Rajesh Khanna, Shabana Azmi, Late Siddharth Ray, Padmini Kolhapure, Late Shreeram Lagoo, Late Deven Verma, Late A. K. Hangal and Maya Alagh.

Misunderstandings lead to Arun and Neema's divorce and when Neema gets custody of their son, Arun waits for the boy to turn 14 so he can take his custody. But things do not go as planned.

The film depicts the story of separation of a couple because of a misunderstanding. The film depicts superbly that how an haughtiness, stubbornness, ego and resentment can destroy a family. The only drawback of the film is that film is marred with its typical cliches.

The plot of the film is good but overall the film doesn't convinces much primarily because of loopholes. A 14 year old boy singing song with his girlfriend and riding a bike makes no sense. An educated woman living on the mercy of his brother also doesn't makes any sense.

Acting is decent with Rajesh Khanna and Shabana Azmi portraying their roles with utmost honesty, Maya Alagh was too loud but doesn't irritates. Jalal Agha was wasted, rest all the characters were average to decent.

Screenplay of the film is average and songs are good, the title song of the film and 'Lovely Mausam' were a hit at the time of the release of the film. The climax of the film is typically predictable climax and doesn't excites much.

If you are a fan of Rajesh Khanna or Shabana Azmi then this is a must watch film for others the film can be watched once.
