Padosan Plot

Bindu (Saira Banu) and her three suitors. The motley crew of suitors comprises a blubbery, balding and besotted-though-married Kunwarji (Om Prakash), his simpleton 'virginal' nephew Bhola (Sunil Dutt), and Bindu's dance master Pillai (Mehmood). At 26, Bhola realizes he has wasted a year of his grahastashram (married life). He now seeks the aid of his acting guru Vidyapati (Kishore Kumar) and his three whacky troupe members who seem to be glued to each other's waist (Mukri, Raj Kishore, and Keshto Mukherjee) To Bhola's delight, the bathing beauty next door trilling is none other than Bindu. But Bindu prefers instead to bask in her dance master's feverish attentions. Bhola is disheartened till Guruji, as Vidyapati is addressed, realizes that Masterji's trump card is his talent for crooning. When he exhorts Bhola to sing, to his dismay, a donkey is the only one to appreciate the lad's vocal efforts. Guruji readies Bhola to woo Bindu with a song. He makes Bhola lip sync while he sings from behind a curtain. Bhola and Pillai now make both music and war. When Bhola, abetted by Guruji, beats Masterji in a singing duel, Bindu promptly shifts her affections to Bhola. Bhola wants to divulge the truth to Bindu but Guruji warns him that ethics are for weaklings. When the ruse is finally exposed, a furious Bindu decides to marry Bhola's Mama! When Mama refuses, she latches on to the ever-obliging Masterji.
