This Amitabh starrer is best known for one-liners that sit pretty even in contexts not originally intended. Sample this.

Narang introducing himself to Zeenat Aman with 'ladki, humein apna dost samjho'. Now given the sublime abruptness of that line, what are the odds that these weren't the very words with which Amit Shah inducted Ms Bedi into his party?

Or consider, Pran saying to Iftekhar ' mein tumse itni nafrat nahi karta jitni apne bachchon se mohabbat karta hun.' Hate to say it in the run-up to Valentine's, but can't help wondering how many spouses draw solace from that statement.

And of course, there's this classic facade of a supposedly eventful youth - a facade behind which mundane middle-age usually hides. Amitabh saying to Iftekhar 'Pehle ki baat aur hai inspector sahib, Pehle darr nahi lagta tha. Lekin ab Deepu hai, Munni hai....'
(And what would have happened if Deepu and Munni weren't there you ask ? Well, in the words of the inimitable Pran sahab 'Doosra bekaar sawaal.')
