Lyrics : Majrooh Sultanpuri & Tracy Mehmood

Genre - Musical, Comedy, Drama.

Memory of the film: The First memory of this film I have is the superb song by Mohd.Rafi & Sulakshana Pandit “Ghadi Milan Ki Aayi” shot on Mehmood & Moushmi Chatterjee. {http://www.raaga.com/player4/?id=104765&mode=100&rand=0.9394559316942183} Later came to know that Mehmood had made a film based on Himself, which featured him and all his children s {Inc Lucky Ali} .

Hunt for the film: When my collection started I needed this movie desperately for the unique subject, based on life of Mehmood. Also read somewhere that Moushmi played his first wife Madhu’s role and Tracy Mehmood played herself as his second wife. . This was enough for me, but the craze grew more as I heard all other songs like “Walking and I am walking all alone” {http://www.raaga.com/player4/?id=104764&mode=100&rand=0.5644312612855822} and “Daddy Don’t Go” sung by Kishore Kumar and all kids of Mehmood. {http://www.raaga.com/player4/?id=104762&mode=100&rand=0.2433442438483222} I tried all sources, even asked to Anwar Ali {Brother of Mehmood} who assured me that he will try to get hold of a copy, but will take some time as the producer is based in Bangalore. Finally came in contact with a person residing in Germany who had VHS of this movie and took the pain to make a copy for me.

Impact in today's time: Well the movie was interesting and had a Sp.Appearance by Kishore Kumar . Plus Mehmood has done a great job in this film. He has openly show in the movie his flirting nature and his addiction for women s. It takes guts to do such role and over that make a film with such subject. I was quite amazed to see Nutan in such sweet and modern role. All the special appearances by Mehmood's comedian friends were nice. But overall it was Mehmood’s film and was missing a song by Mehmood which comes in last. It was sung by Sulakshana & Vijeyta Pandit along with Mehmood “ Buddhe teri Chaal Buddhe” {http://www.raaga.com/player4/?id=104761&mode=100&rand=0.6743467467763969}. The movie is entertaining and does leave impact for Mehmood and Rajesh Roshan fans.

My Verdict – The movie has some good message and Interesting star cast. Pls hear all the songs of this movie, Rajesh Roshan has done a great job and if possible watch this movie for some Real life Experience of the Comedy King Actor “MEHMOOD”.
