Padosan (1968)
1/10
If it was made today, it would be considered among the worst films

You read it right. I didn't like it. Infact, I absolutely hated it. May be in those day there were no critics or if there were, they were definitely not well known. Because today's critics don't leave a single chance to point a hole in a film, especially when it's a comedy film.

Film starts with Sunil dutt(as Bhola) reciting a book and shouting "Ab main 25 baras ka ho gaya hoon". In next scene, we see him flirting(sort of) with girls in skimpy clothes. In first few minutes, I felt like watching an another Housefull (Housefull was bashed by critics). Then he left his house to live in his Mama's house. A girl(one of the mentioned above) lives in his neighbour. So, like in every other hindi film, he tries to impress her, but there's someone else trying to do so. He is Pillai, a music teacher (played by Mehmood). So, Bhola decides to learn music. From then it's all about music. There's a song every ten minutes. The story is non-existent. Just a long list of songs is there. Though, it is not as mind less as today's films but today's films are atleast a little funny. Some people may find the character of Pillai(a tamilian) offensive.

Coming to the music, the songs are just amazing. The best ever you can find any where, Hindi or otherwise. But, that alone doesn't overhaul its flaws.
