          • Trivia
            This was a turning point in Pran's career. He plays a 'good man' for the first time and the people loved his 'Malang Chacha' role. He even got to sing a gut wrenching song. His dialogue to Manoj Kumar that "Ram is born in every yug but Laxman was born only in one" still makes one goose-bumpy.
