 Dilip Kumar Saheb received the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for this film.  Seeing Dilip Kumar and Meena Kumari, it does not seem that the film will be a comedy!  Dilip saheb became a tragedy king by doing serious films, but he started feeling that he was getting depressed.  He met psychiatrist Dr. WD Nichols, who advised Dilip Sahab to switch to comedy.

 The music composer was C. Ramchandra.  Initially Naidu ji approached Naushad ji to sing 10 tunes within 30 days, for which he was offered additional remuneration.  On this, Naushad ji said “Naidu saab, have you understood this to be a baniya shop?  You will not get a song in three days.  Then Naidu contacted C. Ramchandra ji and Ramchandra ji composed the tunes in record time.  Rajendra Krishna ji wrote the lyrics.  Playback singing by Lata ji and Usha ji.  The songs were like this.
