The movie is a lighthearted comedy and tells the story of a simpleton (Sunil Dutt) and his neighbour (Saira Banu). Dutt falls for his neighbour and woos her with a little help from his friends (Kishore Kumar, Mukri, Raj Kishore and Keshto Mukherjee). Mehmood as the South Indian musician and rival to Sunil Dutt is among the highlights of the film.

It is a remake of the Telugu film Pakkinti Ammayi (1953) starring Anjali, Relangi, and singer A M Raja. It was again remade into the Telugu film Pakkinti Ammayi (1981) starring Jayasudha.

ynopsis

A simpleton named Bhola (Sunil Dutt) falls in love with his neighbor Bindu (Saira Banu). To impress her he wants to sing to her. However, he isn't a good singer and so seeks the help of his friend, Guru (Kishore Kumar). Guru, a famous singer, agrees to help his friend. To impress Bindu, Guru sings in the background and Bhola mouths the words. Bindu is charmed by what she thinks is Bhola's singing. They become friends and fall in love. Bindu has a music teacher named Master Pillai/Masterji (Mehmood) who is also in love with her and keeps proposing to her. Bindu loves Bhola and hence refuses Masterji.

One day Bindu finds out about Bhola's lie. She is very upset and refuses to meet Bhola. In a rage, she decides to marry Masterji instead. They both prepare for the wedding, while Bhola thinks of a way to get Bindu back.

On the wedding day, Guru gets an idea. He makes Bhola pretend to have committed suicide. He puts a fake suicide note next to Bhola. Bhola has a noose around his neck and a chair next to him. Guru goes and tells the news to Bindu. She is shocked. She leaves her wedding altar and runs to Bhola. She reads the note and starts to repent. Bindu then tries to wake Bhola up. Bhola wakes up and Bindu is delighted. She tells Masterji that she wants to marry Bhola and he agrees. Bhola and Bindu get married.

Music

The music of the film was composed by Rahul Dev Burman and the lyrics were written by Rajendra Krishan.

The soundtrack included following songs:
* "Mere Saamne Wali Khidki Mein" (Kishore Kumar)
* "Bhai Bhatur" (Lata Mangeshkar)
* "Ek Chatur Naar Karke Shingaar" (Kishore Kumar, Manna Dey)
* "Kehna Hai" (Kishore Kumar)
* "Main Chali Main Chali" (Lata Mangeshkar)
* "Mere Bhole Balam" (Kishore Kumar)
* "Sharm Aati Hai Magar" (Lata Mangeshkar)
* "Sanwariya Sanwariya" (Manna Dey)

Reportedly the song 'Ek Chatur Naar' (a duet by Kishore Kumar and Manna Dey) was partly improvised by Kishore Kumar at the time of recording and Manna Day, determined to show Kishore Kumar how he would sing the duet better (since Kishore had not been trained classically), got into the mood of the song and immortalized 'Ek Chatur Naar'. Legend also has it that Manna Dey was upset by the fact that in the picturisation of the song, the singing competition between the two heroes (Dutt and Mehmood) was won by Dutt, for whom the background singing was done by Kishore. Dey didn't like the fact that a classically trained singer like himself would have to lose, though only on-screen, to an un-trained singer (Kishore).

Kishore Kumar's character in the film was inspired by the personality of his uncle, Dhananjay Banerjee (a classical singer). [Filmfare (November 1-15, 1987)]
