    Enjoyable comedy

    A fun ride with some hilarious moments during the bus journey, a special appearance by Kishore Kumar and a vintage Usha Uthup & Amitabh Bacchans first movie as a hero. This movie will always be remembered for giving us the hit song "Dekha na".

    Best comical film

    Great sense of humor. Mehmeood and S Ramanathan made a classic comedy film which creates a space in everyone's heart. Mehmood's Acting skills are amazing and stupendous, very expressive and very energetic. Loved watching the Bus Conductor. Amitabh Bachchan's appearance itself makes him a classic Actor, the way he stretched himself for performing such an extrovert character is highly inspiring. Aruna Irani is an all-rounder, VERSATILE, finest Actress in Indian Cinema, her looks and style were so adorable. Lalita Pawar as Kashibai did a fantabulous job.

    Songs sung by Kishore Kumar are iconic and it truly makes you sing it the entire day. Lovely songs.

    Costume Designer made the actors look even more dashing. The credit is all Kashinath's and his Assistants Eashan, Shivprasad, Manik Sharma.

    Fighting was perfectly choreographed.

    It is all about the entire team's effort.

    Highly appreciate the team work.

    Cheers to the team!

    Bollywood Comedy at its BEST!

    If you enjoy comedy, I mean REALLY enjoy comedy, this is the movie for you! There are so many comedians in this movie that it is very easy to lose count. And also, I believe this is superstar Amitabh Bachchan's very first movie. It is also one of Shatrughan Sinha's first movies. But the BEST stars are Mehmood and his gang of cut-ups. Even the names of the bus driver and the conductor when put together are a tongue-in-cheek reference to one of the biggest superstars of that era - Rajesh Khanna. Why don't people make real comedies like this anymore??? My personal favorite scene is when the bus stops at a roadside snack stand and a hungry kid goes berserk when he sees a complete stranger eating some pakoras (fritters) that he suddenly decides he wants as well. The facial expressions of everyone involved had me in stitches long after the scene was over. You have to see this movie if you want to die laughing!!! Two thumbs, eight fingers, and ten toes up!!!

    AT BEST AN AVERAGE MOVIE

    At best and that too after judging it extremely liberally,this movie is an average movie with terrible performances and worse direction The USP NOW(and not 50 years ago when it was released in 1972)is watching an extremely ordinary looking actor called Amitabh Bachchan giving a very poor performance and wondering at how he made the miraculous transformation the next year in ZANJEER!

    I found nothing at all in Amitabh Bachchan's performance,personality and voice to suggest that the very next year in 1973 and to date he would have continued to astound us with his amazing performances voice and personality.

    ALL I WILL SAY IS THAT NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER Aruna Irani was his heroine in this film and 3 years later she was was an ordinary dancer doing a mujra in DEEWAAR. Such is the dynamics of Showbiz.

    5/10,only because of Amitabh Bachchan. Otherwise 1/10.
