Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKishore Kumar apparently made Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, hoping it would fail commercially. He wanted to show losses in his income, and thus avoid paying a huge income tax to the authorities. So he made two films - Lookochuri (Bengali) and Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, and waited eagerly for them to collapse, However, both surprisingly went on to become box-office successes. Kumar was so disgusted with this that he gave Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi and all its rights to his secretary Anoop Sharma, who retained the copyright. The income tax case on Kishore Kumar was not solved even after forty years.
- GoofsWhen Renu is outside the garage in the rain in the beginning of the movie, the hand of a crew member can briefly be seen touching the wall and going back out.
- Quotes
Renu: Who are you?
Manmohan 'Manu' Sharma: Don't you recognize me? You came to my garage last night. I repaired your car.
Renu: Oh yes!
Manmohan 'Manu' Sharma: Now give me my five rupees and twelve annas.
Renu: But how did you get in here?
Manmohan 'Manu' Sharma: You brought me along.
Renu: What?
Manmohan 'Manu' Sharma: I was sleeping in your car and you didn't even see me.
Renu: In my car? Have you lost your senses?
Manmohan 'Manu' Sharma: I'm not crazy, or I wouldn't be taking the trouble to collect five rupees and twelve annas.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Badhti Ka Naam Dadhi (1974)
Three brothers (brothers in real life too) manage a car repairshop, the eldest (Ashok Kumar) being a misogynist because he was jilted once. Hence, he does not want his younger, and in his eyes, naive brothers to go after women. So, he stops them from any female contact whatsoever. But the inevitable happens, and they fall in love one after the other. What ensues is all sorts of hilarious situations - an enormously funny boxing match (between the eldest and the youngest brother, played brilliantly by Kishore Kumar) where the referee (Anup Kumar playing the middle brother) gets knocked out, crazy detective routines, an out of this world car race and the typical climax - a fight sequence.
This movie stands tall amongst the greatest comedies ever, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Singin' in the Rain, Modern Times etc. Shows you that you do not need to get obscene or profane to get laughs! And believe me, this one gives you more laughs than you can handle!!!
