This movie is remake of Hollywood movie but making remake of this kind in 70's needs guts, there must some reason for shammi kapoor to choose this movie to direct and he did a good job its not a master piece but considering his experience in department of direction this was way much better than all the movies dev anand directed. Zeenat must be very young choosing this subject could have finished her career but through out the movie she looked bubbly and beautiful. Apart from the concept even the set costumes etc are western but still it's a good time pass and sanjeev too accepting this role needs to be applauded. Song picturised on zeenat taking shower is still very popular but the set of bathroom was low budget and it looks funny a beautiful young girl with hot figure taking shower singing this beautiful song in such a run down bathroom i hope some one remake this song again its beautiful even the song koya ke chunanche is nice.

Movie definitely was ahead of its time. Equal rights for sex workers, union and legalising this business, but definitely was needed for that time. I can only imagine how "embarrassed" the middle class of india would have been of this movie. I can imagine my parents and their fellow generation people not going to watch this. Everyone acted superbly. And Zeenat and Sanjeev both looked absolutely adorable

The characters, setting, costumes, or the events clearly suggest the western influence in this comedy. The film fails to deliver novelty, meanders a lot, and is overlong feeling you to skip some of the parts. Despite, the film is also interesting in parts with comedies done by Sanjeev Kumar and Shammi Kapoor. The formulaic comedy of disguise by the hero looks a very bad imitation of "Professor" and at least there are moments when you would like to bang your head for the silliness of the movie. The songs, dances, and the performances from the supporting cast (even Zeenat Aman) isn't impressive. What you would like of this movie is its comical situations and wit created towards the second half of the movie. Overall, the film begins well and if you can tolerate the muddled events in the middle, the film ends at a humorous note. Anyway, if you like Shammi kapoor's screen presence, have a try with this one in which he makes a nice role.

Rating: 1 star out of 4

It's about a prostitute (Zeenat) and all the funny people coming in contact with her. The movie is actually better than it sounds here.Watch Sanjiv Kumar do comedy with the ease of an expert watch also for numerous characters as the move around on the screen. fun filled movie for grown ups.

Sanjiv Kumar plays a constable who falls in love with Zeenat Aman, a prostitute. The result is hilarious. This is one of the few Hindi movies which acknowledge the source. In this case the source being Irma La Douce, probably the Billy Wilder movie, not the play written by Alxandre Breffort. Sanjiv Kumar is brilliant as usual. He seems eminently comfortable in comic roles. Zeenat Aman is stiff as usual, but manages to look quite attractive, and naughty. The studio set used is not naturalistic enough but it does not hamper the illusion. One brilliant scene is where Zeenat's room is searched by several policemen. Sanjiv Kumar, as the Nawab, is superb. Shammi Kapur proves to be quite a good director. Its a pity he does not give us more. The film was famous for its 'adult' content. It was famous, but no phenomenon like Sholay.
