      Nice movie with a great message!

      This movie is a classic.Gorgeous Rajesh Khanna and beautiful Sharmila Tagore did it justice to their roles.Very well directed.Rajesh Khanna wears a sleeveless shirt and trousers (somewhat of a safari suit). On any other actor, the attire would have fallen flat, but Khanna, as a small time thief, carries it with characteristic élan.The dialogues are also great especially the "Badi Kutti Cheez Hai', used with outstanding flamboyance by Khanna, stands out.Must watch for any Rajesh Khanna fan!

      • Trivia
        The song Jab Andhera Hota Hain was sampled from The Fifth Dimension song " Age of Aquarius".
      • Goofs
        In the song "haan to main kya" in the film , the two characters state that it is the night of 26th January and it is a Friday. The film was released in 1973 and that year 26th January was, indeed, a Friday. But since the story can not happen at the time of viewing, the closest year would be 1968. However, poster of Seeta aur Geeta ( 1972) and reference to Mumtaz film Khilona (1970) are also present in the film. The day mentioned in the song should have been Wednesday ( 1972) or Tuesday ( 1971)
