Padosan Sunil Dutt Extra Quality - Hindi Movie

In a film bursting with over-the-top characters—Kishore Kumar’s nasal, theatrical Pillai; Mehmood’s hyperactive, conniving Vidyapati; and the comedic genius of Raj Kishore as Banarasi—Sunil Dutt plays the “straight man.” His character, Bhola, is the emotional anchor. He is sincere, earnest, and genuinely in love. Without a solid straight man, the comedy of the eccentric characters would fall flat.

Directed by Jyoti Swaroop and produced by Mehmood and N.C. Sippy , Padosan (1968) is widely considered one of the greatest comedies in Indian cinema history. The film is a remake of the 1952 Bengali film Pasher Bari , which was itself based on a short story by Arun Chowdhury . Core Cast and Characters hindi movie padosan sunil dutt
