Bollywood comedies are normally associated with slapstick and nonsense especially in recent times, but there were times when such comedies were made which make us laugh even today. Gulzar who teamed with Sanjeev Kumar earlier in AANDHI(1975), MAUSAM(1975) and several films teamed with him back in one of the best comedies. The film is based on Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors and is a laugh riot, even Shakespeare is given a big homage. The film is one of the most confusing film about mistaken identities. Something done to death recently by Priyadarshan and DD but none can achieve what Gulzar achieved. The film makes you fall down laughing but never looking OTT.The film starts off with the twins getting separated in a tragic incident and then the comedy starts off, the characters are all well written, though some things are not explained like what job the other 2 Sanjeev and Deven do, it's not too clear, also whatever happened to the 1 lakh in the end? But lets forget such stuff as the film promises comedy but doesn't insult your intelligence.Direction by Gulzar is topnotch Music by RD Burman is okay in minimal doses, only 1 song makes it to the film Roz Roz Daali Daali by his wife Asha Bhosle and it's superb Editing is superb, with a few glitches when the double roles meet which is pardonable for its a 1982 film, The length of 2 hours is superbSanjeev Kumar proves yet again why he is one of the best actors Bollywood had, His every gesture, his every voice intonation, every scene will leave you laughing hard, the best part is he never tries too hard, he gives both roles a distinct identity Deven Verma makes a perfect combo with him and he is simply fabulous, this is one of his finest works, for which he got the best comedian award Moushami Chattergee is fantastic in her role, Deepti Naval is good too while Aruna Irani is fab Amongst rest Utpal Dutt and Shammi are good in their brief roles C.S.Dubey is fab, the others are fab too

Perfectly casted into a fabulous movie, perfect in comedy and fun. Inspired by William Shakespeare's The Comedy Of Errors, this movie displays a general confusion regarding two characters (each in a double role), having same name. This movie illustrates the beauty of acting and superb performance by every character. This movie is worth watching to everyone. Acting performance is natural and really really funny. This movie is one of the best movie (comedy) that I have ever watched in my life. I rate this movie 9/10, as it is perfect and natural. There are no villains, no fight scenes in the movie, yet it is very effective and influencing. The movie makes us laugh at the very start of the movie, and makes us laugh till the end. This movie is directed by Gulzar, who is, in my view, one of the best directors in Indian Cinema. Songs are not bad, and the song "Pritam aan milo" makes movie superb and Worth to watch.

I saw this movie yesterday and nearly fell off my sofa, laughing. Even now I cant stop smiling every time I think of various scenes from the movie. Especially the scene in which Deven Verma barks like a dog is so cute. The plot line about a gang is great touch.Hats off to Gulzar for such a well thought-out script. Even though, it is a copy of Comedy of Errors, but still I've seen so many perfect stories being ruined by Bollywood, that this one is a relief. I cannot think a single other recent movie which is made with so much thought, a lot more money perhaps, but not much thought.Highly recommended...!!

Excellent performances by Sanjeev Kumar, Moushami Chatterjee and above all Deven Verma who steals the show. Great work by Gulzar as usual. The song "Preetam aan milo" sung by Sapan Chakraborthy is the highlight.
