    Farebi
    The movie revolves around the lost & found formula, which was very popular in the 1970s Hindi film industry.

    The lost son (Khanna) is a gambler cum thief, he is sent to his mother's house (Nirupa Roy), which he left when he was a little child, to pretend to be her lost son. In the process e falls in love with Moushmi Chatterji and realizes the truth about his identity.

    The film has some nice songs & some good filming locations.

    This movie was listed by the magazine "Picture Post" as one of the 1974 hits; however, seems like people forgot about it as there are no Video/ DVD releases or even satellite telecast.
