Though this gem of a film was directed by Basu Chatterjee, it was produced by Chopra. It may nowhere be near the other projects Chopra helmed, but its relevance lies in its simple yet beautifully happy plot.

Amol Palekar plays a simpleton in love with Vidya Sinha, who is also pursued by Asrani.

Palekar's shy nature is his biggest drawback, and his failing badly is his battle for his love. Asrani, who plays a streetsmart cookie, manages to turn every situation to his advantage -- almost always at Palekar's cost.

Fed up with his lack of skills in this all-important arena, Palekar turns for help to a retired Army colonel who becomes his love guru.

Played by a Chopra favourite, Ashok Kumar, the colonel teaches Palekar a trick or two. And Palekar, of course, turns the tables on Asrani and wins the girl.
