Purani Haveli is a movie from the Ramsay stables, and it has many a recognizable face. It has Anil Dhawan, Preeti Sapru, and Amita Nangia, who went on to become a minor celebrity with Tara of Zee TV. Here is the complete review of Purani Haveli, which when translated into English means ‘The Old Bungalow’.
