However, Pushpa starts treating Nandu as her own son when she realises that he is mistreated at home, and often goes hungry. Nandu also comes to love Pushpa and starts to regard her as his mother. He visits her every day and comes upon Anand Babu who also becomes fond of him becoming a father figure, calling him Pushpa's son, seeing the way Pushpa loves the child. One day, Anand Babu's brother- in- law comes to see Pushpa and demands that she tell Anand Babu to stop visiting her.

When Nandu suffers from fever and his treatment is too expensive, Pushpa asks Anand Babu for help and he secretly finances the treatment and does not let anybody know. When the doctor asks him why is he so keen on helping Nandu, he replies some relationships have no names. However, when Nandu's father asks the doctor who paid for the treatment, the doctor says that his mother did. Then Nandu's father discovers that it was Pushpa who saved her son's life and he thanks her and gives her the sari that he had bought for his wife, telling her that it was gift from a brother to a sister. A touched Pushpa accepts.

When Samanta saw the film, he was so impressed by the performance of Uttam Kumar, that he decided to remake it. However he decided to make some changes in the script. The title derives its name from a typical Bengali late afternoon snack, kachori, made with of fried dough stuffed with lentils, and hing (asafoetida). Shakti Samanta asked Mukherjee who also wrote Nishi Padma's screenplay to write a Hindi version, with Ramesh Pant, a longtime- collaborator with Samanta penning the Hindi dialogues. Tagore found her character Pushpa, . For the role Anand, actor Raaj Kumar was Samanta's first choice, as he believed Khanna who had become a super star after the hit Aradhana, wouldn't be interested in doing a film that focussed on the female lead.
However, Khanna convinced Samanta that would do justice to the role. Though, Khanna changed the character's name from Ananta to Anand to draw connection to his character in Hrishikesh Mukherjee's critically acclaimed, Anand (1.

When her husband marries the second time, due to her apparent infertility, she is kicked out of her home, her mother and community both abandon her, subsequently she is tricked into prostitution. This blurring in representation of a courtesan and a common prostitute has been recurrent feature in mainstream Bollywood cinema, just as the theme of the fallen woman is.

Rehana Sultan, clearly ringing in the end of monochromatic filmi- version of prostitutes and courtesans, which was seen in films like Bimal Roy's Devdas (1. B. Chopra's Sadhna (1. Guru Dutt's classic Pyaasa. This is also conveyed with the use of symbolism like the handful of mud being taken from Pushpa's brothel grounds to make goddess Durga idols prior to the annual Durga Puja festival, a popular festival of goddess worship. Further towards the end of the film her purity is compared with that of the Ganges itself by Anand Babu, when she finally visits the banks of Hooghly river, a distributary of the sacred Ganges River to break her bangles after her ill- treating husband dies; and in the very end, the juxtaposition of home- coming of Durga idols used in Durga Puja festival just as Nandu is taking Pushpa home. This makes her a veritable model for womanhood, although conservative and affirming patriarchal traditions. The fallen woman, solely longs to marry the man, but in vain, Pushpa too is reunited with Anand Babu in the end, however this only momentary meeting, Anand Babu suggests she goes home with her foster son, Nandu as a mother. Pushpa herself lonely, fulfills her maternal instincts through Nandu, a young boy in the neighbourhood, often ill- treated by his step mother.

Burman made a tune in Raga Khamaj, which Lata Mangeshkar too sang with marked emotional clarity and abandon, who is usually prone let her technical dexterity outshine. The song became a classic. Burman proved one of the best scores of his career. At the 1. 97. 3Filmfare Awards, Arabinda Mukherjee won the award for Best Screenplay. The film also received nomination for Best Music, along with Pakeezah, Shor, however the award went to Be- Imaan which made a clean sweep at the award that year, by also winning Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor, a category for which Rajesh Khanna had won two nominations that year, for Amar Prem and Dushman, however he lost out to Manoj Kumar.
