Mukherjee's most productive and meaningful phase was through the 1970s when, as well as making moving hits like Anand and Abhiman ("Pride", 1973, exploring professional jealousy between a husband and wife), he also directed frothy comedies like Chupke Chupke ("Quietly, Quietly", 1975), Golmaal (Hanky Panky, 1979), Khubsoorat (Beautiful, 1980) and Guddi, a sardonic insight into glitzy Bollywood.
