    • Trivia
      Whilst shooting in Kolkata for a song in a stadium. Neetu Singh started crying, who had recently got engaged and didn't want to be away from Rishi Kapoor. The phones in Kolkata weren't working and Rishi was upset that he couldn't get through to Neetu. Amitabh Bachchan asked Neetu why she was crying. Neetu said, she wanted to go back.' Amitabh called the producer, asked him to book Neetu's ticket back to Mumbai and said they would manage the song without Neetu. The whole song was changed. This is the reason why Neetu is in half of the song and then disappears.

    Fun to watch with great music score and really good comedy by bachan.
    Definitely one of my favourite movies amjad khan and bachan really shine it is one the most memorable films of amjad khan along with sholay and qurbani. He was one my most favourite actors next to kader khan. They will always be missed indeed.
