Summary: Apparently taking its cue from Mel Brooks’s
Silent Movie (1976), this wordless comedy
helped change Kamalahasan’s screen image.
An unemployed youth (Kamalahasan) sees a
drunken man (Khakhar) with a fancy hotel’s
room key dangling from his pocket. The youth
kidnaps the drunk and ties him up in his own
tenement room, making elaborate
arrangements to allow his prisoner to perform
his daily toilet (he cuts a hole in the prisoner’s
chair and gift-wraps the excrement). The youth
then checks into the hotel where he
immediately becomes the target of a hoodlum
(Anand) who tries to murder him with knifeshaped
ice cubes (when the ice melts, the
murder weapon would vanish).
