Hi all. It is not very widely known that Mama Rampuri's (Ashok Kumar) actual name is Mahabir. This is how Leela Mishra calls him - only once though - as he rushes out of the house, disappointed that Bhola wouldn't give in to his cunning plans. But what is more important perhaps for the main article is the origin of this awkward / uncommon name of the film which translates as "Big pigeon". Actually Kabutar in Hindi slang refers to a "slimy crook" who will slip out of one's hand easily, like a kabutar or pigeon. Mama Rampuri is a small time crook, and openly refers himself as "Bada Kabutar" or a big crook [by implication of course]. May be if this fact is confirmed by more Wikipedians, this can be included in the main article. Neotaruntius (talk) 15:49, 25 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
