In 70's this movie had a song on picturised on premnath who had a major role "baki jo bachha tha mehngai mar gayi.... " and there was not political issue on it. In fact this song fits for today's time in 2022. Imagine the politics if such songs if made today. Well this movie is one of the best from Manoj kumar factory better than purab pashchim and upkaar. RKAM is entertainment typical entertaining bollywood movie with a bit of political, social message. Songs are terrific " Main na bhoolonga... " Is still a chart buster, very well picturised. Zeenat, moushmi as leading ladies had good role with slight negative shade in zeenat's character, they did good job. Manoj kumar, sashi kapoor are good, surprisingly premnath in character of sardar was liked a lot by audience. Amitabh in small role as this was beginning of his career does a good job. Aruna Irani 's song "panditji mere marne... " Is too good but not many know about nor it's played today but it can be said it's a very good song with good lyrics, music, choreography and Aruna did fantastic job. Watch it if you are looking for entertainment.
U are a jobless youth with many mouths to feed. U brazenly flaunt your education degree but what's the point? U won't compromise on your ideologies; hence u fail to get a job. Your partner abandons you for an affluent guy. Your sister remains unmarried. Your father expires due to deficiency of medical attention. In short, your life is the pits. But since u are #ManojKumar, u will triumph against all odds and protect your country. Any kid born in the 60s and 70s will unquestionably grasp the essence of #RotiKapadaAurMakaan (1974). Lyrics and music are outstanding. Running time needs to be reduced by 20 minutes. Rating 3/5.
I love to watch all movies of Manoj Kumar sir. Can anyone suggest me where I can watch all of his movies paid sites will be OK. But plz suggest me.. I am searching from many days but I am not getting any paid links or free links to watch. Upkar, sanyasi, Roti Kapada aur Makaan, etc. I want to watch all of his movies..
Review By Kamal K
Very futuristic film. Film is a realistic approach towards life. And one can connect with it in real life.
I felt deep and applauded for great meaningful songs that depicts todays life and the life's situations. And the cost of things with our basic need of money, house, love, food & for that one needs to work & do a job. Legendary Manoj Kumar really felt a awesome mark on our hearts who loves such a Classic films. A must watch for who understand the truth of life & it's struggle.

If compared with other Indian commercial films, Roti Kapada Aur Makaan does not have much flow.
I'm not sure about the status and the financial conditions of the Indian singers at the present time. But this film indicates that, during the 70's, even the best singers would get nowhere with their talents.
In this film, Manuj Kumar is a singer with a legendry voice (Mukesh), yet he has neither fame nor money.
If talented singers did make a good living out their arts in India during the 70's, then this is perhaps the film's big flaw.
But overall, Roti Kapda Aur Makaan is probably one of Bollywood's few films that actually makes sense.
The direction, acting and story line are superb. The songs are related to the story, and are always inspiring to listen to.
Most Bollywood's films are hardly watch able, but it will be a pleasure to watch this one more than twice.
