Wow! Such a good movie.
Matialth
Good concept, poorly executed.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Jyoti Swaroop's 'Padosan' is the Finest Comedy to come out to of Indian Cinema. A 1968, Everygreen, Evershining Classic!'Padosan' is a simple story told in a Fantastic manner. The script is polished, with one-by-one hilarious sequences. The film has hilarious characters, which have been justified by it's actors.Kishore Kumar steals the show with a memorable performance. His body language & dialog delivery are superb, justifying the character more than needed. Sunil Dutt is fantastic, plus his get-up is well-done. Mehmood excels as the Tamilan. His portions are simply hilarious! Saira Banu looked amazing then and her performance is decent. Mukri, Keshto Mukherjee & Raj Kishore are first-rate as Kishore's men. Om Prakash, Dulari, Agha & Sunder are perfect.'Padosan' is a must watch... most of the people associated with this Cult film are no more... let's relive & salute their contribution in Indian Cinema.

One of the best all time comedies and among the best of Indian cinema. Kishore Kumar and mahmood stand out every one in their comic timing . you keep wondering how versatile can a man be after watching kishore kumar sing and act at the same time. sunil dutt is cute and good with his dialogs. good acting . saira banu is also good. The maestro that he is , once again RD Burman proves that the genius like him are rarely born.kishore kumar and Manna Day have sung the songs awesomely. The songs "Mere samnewali khidki', "kehena Hai ", "sawariya" and the only one of its kind till date in the history of cinema "Ek Chatur naar". Kishore kumar according is the hero of the Film.

This is a hilarious and fantastic plot and producer Mahmood has truly justified the quote below the film title 'The first ambitious Motion Picture'. It is a splendid performance by one and all concerned with this film.Rather than the film's heroine Saira Banu, the film focuses on the duel of wits between her two suitors Mehmood and Sunil Dutt, who is helped by his Guruji Kishore Kumar (doing an imitation of Popol, a famous Bengali artiste) with a floppy middle-partitioned hairstyle and paan stained mouth. Mehmood has excelled as the South-Indian music and dance teacher, with mannerisms such as clutching the hems of his dhoti and the oft-repeated 'aiyo'... One of the high points of this film is the 'Ek Chatur Naar...' during which Mehmood's harmonium gets stuck, making him mumble, 'ennaiya idu... (in Tamil) (meaning, 'what is this') Buy this DVD and have a good laugh!!!!!

Excellent performances by complete cast. Unusually funny theme. Cute actress Saira Bano. Jolly Mehamood and last but not the least a superb singing and acting performance by the great Kishore Kumar. He dominates comedy like no one else. Nobody could ever regret watching this movie.Songs to watch out for :"Mere saamne wali khidki me . . ""Meri Pyari Bindu . . ""Tum hi to layi ho jeevan me mere pyar . ."
