Heeralal Pannalal

A funny commercial movie with a light theme, which went on to become a hit when released in 1978. Real life uncle (Shashi Kapoor) & nephew (Randhir Kapoor) team up as friends with the beautiful Zeenat Aman & Neetu Singh. The outcome is : comedy, music, drama & all other ingredients of a commercial Hindi film included with as elegant star cast, which over-shadowed the weak plot of the film.

Look out for the song "Aja meri pyar aja" sung by Lata Mangeshkar & "O padosan ki ladki" by the late Kishore Kumar.

One wonders why this movie is not released on DVD or being screened on TV.

Heeralal Pannalal is an out-and-out entertainer. And when you have the charming Shashi Kapoor and the goofy Randhir Kapoor for company, you can be assured that it'll be pure fun.

The story's nothing much to talk about, but the movie is racy and an unabashed entertainer. The heroes have the charming Neetu Singh and Zeenat Aman for company. And then, there are the usual suspects of villains for the screwball pair to bash up.

Rahul Dev Burman comes up with a snappy, foot tapping score. Just for songs like "O padosan ki ladki", "Aaja mere pyaar aaja", "Kahiye kahan se aana hua", this movie is worth a dekko.
