What were the Hindi Films which were based on Tagore's stories. The
ones which I can jot down are

Sacrifice 1927 based on Balidaan
Milan 1947 based on Naukadubi
Kabuliwala 1961 based on story of same name
Uphaar 1971 based on Sampati

I have a vague memory that a couple more exist. forgetting them. Can
anyone help.

Thanks in advance

I think Kumar Shahani's Char Adhyay (1997) is another

haven't seen 'Paa'. but Tagore's short story 'Ichhha puron' probably
has the same plot.

Dear Vijay

Chokher Bali is in Bangla. There are many Bangla films based on
Tagore. Not sure there are as many Hindi ones.

Dear Karim

Paa was loosely based on Robin Williams 1996 film Jack. Interesting
that you are mentioning a similarity to ichha puron. what was the plot
of ichha puron?

The plot of 'ichha puon' : Its the story of a school going child and
his father. The child wishes to be his father (so that he can play all
day long, do whatever he wants - nobody would say anything). The
father also wishes to be a child again. In one morning, when they wake
up - they find their wishes fulfilled. But now they find it very
problematic. So they wishes to go back to their previous stages.

Dear Karim

Thanks. that is a very interesting story. but not Paa's story by a
long shot. But it does seem like Mary Rodgers' story on which the film
Freaky friday was made in 1976. I have seen the remake of the same
film starring Lindsay Lohan.
