It is a fun movie, isn't it? Pran was never the hero in any film I’ve seen (although he was a hero early in his career in Lahore), but he started getting good-guy roles in the early 70s.

It is a fun movie, isn’t it?

"Every nerve is shining - yes, yes!" Great sounds, like Monty Python! Monty Python and Hindi movies, that would be a great combination! "Samsung and Dilai Lala" a gay story! "Samsung and Dalai Lama" a buddhist story? "Sam Singh and Dil laila" Well, looks like we need a mind map to keep trace of the story.
great review and great screen caps.

“Samsung and Dilai Lala” a gay story!
“Samsung and Dalai Lama” a buddhist story?
“Sam Singh and Dil laila”

I only thought he'd prefer LG to Dilaila, but who was i to know? Also, I never was taken to any picnics! how bereft my childhood has been ... I like Dharmendra movies from the 60s- he did a lot of stuff where he played 007/CID/secret police roles- I ignore the emo stuff and concentrate on the spying- wonderful campy fun! ooh Samsung!

(well, I bought one that didn't play at all on any player and then had trouble finding another copy)...Helen has a pretty large part in here, which I skipped over for reasons I already explained :-) I had a lot of trouble finding the DVD for some reason…but maybe you won’t!

I need a copy. Helen is an added bonus to any film - even her 5 on screen seconds in Amar Akbar Anthony. Throw in "The Monkees" and Pran and I'm sold. This film looks amazing! I need a copy.

When I was a kid my mom would send us outside with sandwiches, mostly to get rid of us I think...but it sounds like you knew how to do it much better :-) It is a good movie, lots of fun although of course would have been better with Shammi in it too. Yes, the elevator song is great---where Kavita finally decides that she does love Vijay. Luckily Dharmendra doesn't have to do much dancing---Vyjayanthimala and Helen do the heavy lifting there.
