Rafoo Chakkar is a 1975 Indian Hindi-language comedy film produced by I. A. Nadiadwala and directed by Narender Bedi. The film was adapted from the 1959 American film Some Like It Hot (based on the 1935 French film Fanfare of Love).[1][2]

The film stars Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh. Other actors include Paintal, Bindu and Madan Puri, along with Rajindernath, Asrani and Bhagwan. The music was composed by Kalyanji Anandji.[3][4]

Plot

[edit]

Two out-of-work musicians (Rishi Kapoor and Paintal) witness a murder and are spotted by the villains. In order to save themselves, they decide to disguise themselves as girls and hop on to a train to Jammu and Kashmir with other girls in a singing band, where they met Neetu Singh, Bindoo and Asrani. The plot twists when band manager falls in love with the 'girl' Paintal, and Rishi Kapoor tries to impress Neetu Singh by pretending to be an oil tycoon named Esso. At the end of the film, the male musicians' real identities are revealed. However, the romantic pairs remain intact by the end credits, including Rajindernath and Paintal. The film ends with the same line as Some Like it Hot: "Nobody's perfect!"
