Trivia:

Thakur Maharaj Singh (Shammi Kapoor) says to his wife that "when my son grows up he will be just like me," to which his wife Mrs. Rukmini Maharaj Singh (Indrani Mukherjee) remarks that he will just be like a Junglee just like his father. This is a reference to the film Junglee (1961) where Shammi Kapoor played the lead role.

Shades of Bombai ka Babu

This movie is quite okay compared to other movies of its era. Funny to see Shammi Kapoor and Saira Banu as father and daughter if you know that Saira made her debut in Junglee opposite Shammi Kapoor as her hero. Saira is the girlfriend of Amitabh in this movie. This is the second movie in which Saira and Amitabh starred together (the other one being the comedy drama HERA PHERI which also has Vinod Khanna as the other leading man, in this movie he makes an special appearance). The storyline is somewhat like an old Kishore Kumar movie which name i forgot and the black and white movie BOMBAY KA BABU wby Raj Khosla which had Dev Anand and Suchitra Sen and was probably the first Hindi movie which dealt with incest. This movie touches that subject lightly, though you know that Amit and Saira are no brother and sister. Shammi as the father is okay, Vinod Khanna as the real heir in his special appearance is okay. This is the first movie directed by Ravi Chopra who would later maken movies like Baghban (amitabh again), Baabul (Amitabh again) and THe Burning Train (the only Hindi disaster movie with an all star cast).
