I was familiar with its songs, which are very famous till this age. Kishore Kumar's talent for playing eccentric characters like Guru (Vishwapati) is what makes the movie special. Read it somewhere that Mehmood (it was the first film produced by him) convinced Kishore to play this character after so much of effort , but when film got released Vishwapati and his style overshadowed the role of Mehmood and Sunil Dutt. Eventually in final cut his role was toned down, even after this he shines like gem in the whole movie.
