What happens

Haath Ki Safai (lit. 'Skill of Hand'; a euphemism for pickpocketing) is a 1974 Indian Hindi-language masala film, written by Salim–Javed, produced by I.A Nadiadwala, and directed by Prakash Mehra. The film stars Vinod Khanna, Randhir Kapoor and Hema Malini. Vinod Khanna won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor, the only nomination for the film. The rest of the cast includes Simi Garewal, Ranjeet and Satyen Kappu. It was a remake of 1959 film Do Ustad. The music is by Kalyanji Anandji. The film became a "semi-hit" at the box office. The film was later remade in Telugu as Manushulu Chesina Dongalu (1976) and in Tamil as Savaal (1981). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
