Ingenious casting!

Dharmendra, Zeenat Aman, Rex Harrison, Sylvia Miles, John Saxon, Shammi Kapoor, Prem Nath, Aruna Irani and Anita all in one movie! What a cast! Their budget must have been impressive. I was equally impressed by how easily Rex Harrison and Sylvia Miles (seemed to) speak Hindi. Such a great use of international talent on an equally great script. I highly recommend this film.

They did not speak Hindi, their voices were dubbed. Rex Harrison's voice was dubbed by Kader Khan.

Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.'
