Darpan crosses over in this film

Raj Kishore is Darpan in the film. He's got a gaudy pink coloured shirt to wear in the film. Of course, the shirt does not change. He's got an ungainly moustache gummed onto his upper lip. Actually, he is a very amiable young actor. Later, in another film called Golmaal (the Utpal - Amol extravaganza) he even plays a nice role of a friend in a song. With a printed shirt. Very near the gaudy pink in feel and effect. He also has very pink lips, go on, see a picture of his. Raj Kishore aka Darpan in this film agrees to cross over from one gang to another and become the insider. Thus started the processes of insider films. "Internal affairs" arrived in Hong Kong much later and we all broke out in ecstacy. But remember, Raj Kishore started it all. Of course Mr. Davar ( Iftikhar in a titular role here) had to give the permission after all. In gangland, someone ultimately has to give the permission for such things. Davar gives. Darpan goes. Things happen. You still don't know what's the film. It's got Aruna Irani in a special appearance, Sudhir has a role in which he is of course, Jaichand. What else would Sudhir be? He's Sudhir. He needs to feel his ego. Then, there is the amiable Manmohan Krishna as DCP. And he is so honest that he does not even give a referral for his future son-in-law. It's highly abberant when we see the eternity police inspector Jagdish Raaj as Jagga, a goon. Instead of his usual police officer stuff. Like I said, things happen. You still didn't get it? You will never get it then. I have already mentioned a galaxy of actors. But just for academic noting, there's also Neetu Singh, Nirupa Roy, Shashi Kapoor and Parveen Babi. Oh yeah, there's Bachchan too. Deewar. And why was that Munshiji walking around with the attendance record all day long at that building site where Nirupa worked? Because if he didn't carry that attendance record, he couldn't have stricken her name off and the story wouldn't have moved ahead, silly!
