Mehra started out with this rollicking Shashi Kapoor-Babita comedy, where the pair start off as lovers. When war breaks out, Kapoor's Kamal heads to the front where he meets Rakesh, also played by Kapoor. Rakesh wants to kill Kamal to usurp Babita's heart instead, and there is a scuffle.
It's a zany script that could be straight out of a Laurel and Hardy film, and yet there is darkness and death during all the hilarity. A truly interesting debut from a 28-year-old director.
