What happens

Tamasha is a 1952 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by Phani Mazumdar, starring Meena Kumari, Dev Anand and Ashok Kumar. One of the big hits of the year from Bombay Talkies produced by Ashok Kumar and Savak Vacha, "Tamasha" had a narrative far ahead of its times, its action spread over 16 eventful days. This movie is a copy of the Hollywood movie It Started with Eve A young Meena Kumari with a sparkle in her eyes and an impish smile was quite the opposite of the accomplished tragedienne she became immortalised as. This is the first film of Meena Kumari and Dev Anand and the 2nd film in which Kishore Kumar and Dev Anand acted together. First film of Dev Anand and Kishore Kumar was Ziddi along with Kamini Kaushal. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
