It is with fond memories that Amol Palekar remembers his friend Deven Varma, who passed away recently. He recalls a time when Varma-directed Bada Kabutar bombed at the box-office. Not knowing its fate, Palekar went to see the film a couple of days after its release and loved the “beautiful simple comedy which was on the lines of Basu Chatterjee and Hrishikesh Mukherjee kind of films.” He called up Varma to congratulate him and he laughed and asked Palekar, which show he had seen.

Palekar remembers his friend as someone who always sported a smiling countenance.
