Summaries

  • An impoverished male, in love with a woman who is about to get married, has a lab-accident and evolves into a destructive iron-man.
  • Kishore, also known as Funtoosh to his friends and family, is an unemployed loafer who falls in love with the pretty Meena. Meena's father is a crazy, but kind, scientist working on a secret formula being sponsored by an evil businessman whose son is also in love with Meena. When Kishore stumbles upon the scientists basement lab he is zapped by iron rays which turn him into a semi-hulking strongman. Later his superpowers wear off and he begins to shrink at a very rapid rate. A rare Bollywood foray into the science fiction genre done up as a comedy with the usual song and dance numbers.—Michael Barnum
  • Bombay-based unemployed slacker Kishore lives an impoverished lifestyle with his widowed mother and younger sister, Nimo. He is unable to secure any employment and instead falls in love with Meena Verma, the daughter of a scientist. Unknown to Kishore, Meena is soon to marry Ranjan, the only son of widower Ramlal, who is also funding scientific experiments carried out by heavily indebted Meena's father. When Ranjan finds out Meena has fallen in love with Kishore, he conspires with his father to discredit him. They put their plan into action which results in Kishore meeting with a lab-accident and turning into a destructive iron-man - alienating himself from everyone - including his very own mother and sister - as he sets about to injure and damage everyone and everything he comes in contact with.—rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)
