Astley Ka Intezaar

Bond's innocent story of a caretaker tirelessly looking after the cottage of a British officer in Mussoorie, while awaiting the return of his master, turns into a "castle" or more likely, a sprawling estate in Kerala, being looked after by ageing Bollywood actor, Shakti Kapoor, playing the part quite well. The innocence is gone, as the caretaker's scheming family tries to grab a slice of the property, and so do the local mafia and assorted hoodlums. A refreshing addition is the young grandson of the caretaker, who realizes the greed of his own parents and manages to thwart their designs. Worth a watch, simply to see where Bond's story ends and the elaborate TV series additions begin.
