Awesome. There are few movies in indian cinema which have such a wonderful combination of humor, family values, romance and of-course hindi as a language. I have seen this movie more than 30 times and i am never tired of watching it again. It has that subtle connection to our indian psyche using humor and romance as the key elements that i am amazed every time i watch it. Hrishikesh Mukherjee is a magician of movies. He uses simple incidents and regular tit-bits in everyone's daily life to generate such a beautiful mosaic of humor and romance that no body else i know of has done it. Be it golmaal , chupke-chupke and other social problems related movies, he uses simple characters and strong music aptly placed in the movie situations with beautiful lyrics to make the fabric of the movie. Its simply perfect. Besides the cast just goes with the plot so well that u cant imagine how it would have been without them or somebody else playing the part. He is my favorite director and a brilliant man to be. The simple plots contain deeper meaning, but are generally straightforward in form, theme and treatment. He directed around 50 films most of which were valued because of their middle-of-the-road accessibility, heart-warming irony and literary sensibilities.
The situation is based around a plot to fool sulekha's ( sharmila tagore) genius jijaji (om prakash) as she kept on praising him in front of her husband ( dharmendra) professor in botany. The plot is so simple but so well executed that i feeel refreshed every time i watch it.
Its a classic and i think every indian should be proud of such movies as part of our otherwise egregious hindi cinema (bollywood).

I agree, completely with you on this one..Indian cinema has so much of a treasure left unexploerd by our generation! Movies like these make us look at life problems in a lighter manner. I love Jijaji in this pic and the way Dharmendra and Sharmila plot against him, esp. when he speaks 'shuddh illahabadi hindi;, lol :)
