Before director Jyoti Swaroop graduated to direct run-of-the-mill fare like Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Parwana or the long-forgotten Chorni, he made history with his awe-inspiring potpourri of side-splitting hysterics, namely Padosan.
Full marks to its ensemble cast of Kishore Kumar, Mehmood, Sunil Dutt and Saira Bano to keep the laughs coming with their endless buffoonery and infectious spontaneity in this scrumptious rom-com about two comical suitors, a hot girl-next-door and a pan-spewing melody Guru.
Lending a generous helping hand is R D Burman's terrific 'n' tickling soundtrack featuring fantastic treats like Ek chatur naar, Mere bhole balam and Mere saamnewali khidki, contributes to the humour, as much as the well-timed antics of its actors on screen.
While comedy has always been Kishoreda and Mehmood's forte, Dutt successfully went against type in his adorable portrayal of the naïve, lip-syncing Bhola.
