To impress Bindu, Guru sings in the background and Bhola mouths the words. Guru, a famous singer, agrees to help his friend. However, he isn't a good singer and so seeks the help of his friend, Guru (Kishore Kumar). Padosan is a story of a simpleton named Bhola (Sunil Dutt) who falls in love with his neighbour Bindu (Saira Banu). Burman's hit music gave us all-time great songs like “Mere Samne Wali Khidki Mein” (Kishore Kumar) and “Ek Chatur Naar Karke Singaar” (Manna Dey and Kishore Kumar) not to forget “Main Chali Main Chali”, “Sharm Aati Hai Magar”, “Bhai Batur” (all Lata Mangeshkar), “Bindu Re Bindu” and “Kahna Hai Tumse Ye Pahli Baar” (both Kishore Kumar). The music of the film was composed by Rahul Dev Burman and the lyrics were written by Rajendra Krishan. Kishore Kumar 's character of a comical theatre director was also well received. Mehmood's portrayal of a south Indian music teacher was one of his noted performances and a key highlight of the film. It was considered one of the best comedy movies made in Hindi film history. Mehmood as the South Indian musician and rival to Sunil Dutt is among the highlights of the film. Kishore Kumar, Mukri, Raj Kishore and Keshto Mukherjee played the supporting roles.
