Rajshri Film Production has posted a lovely post to celebrate the completion of 57 years of the film and remembered four iconic characters of the film, which include Kishore Kumar, Mehmood, Sunil Dutt and Saira Banu. There were many other actors in the film, who contributed significantly in making the film a hit on the screen.

In the film, Sunil Dutt played the role of Bhola and Kishore Kumar played the role of Vidyapati. The friendship between the two blossomed on the screen and how the other friend lends his voice to make his friend’s love successful, while Mehmood Sahab, by becoming Master Pillai, spoils the plans of Bhola and Vidyapati.
