What happens

Khel Khel Mein (transl.  Within the game) is a 1975 Indian Hindi-language black comedy action thriller film directed by Ravi Tandon. It was an adaption of the French novel Good Children Don't Kill written by Louis Thomas. The film music was composed by R. D. Burman and the lyrics written by Gulshan Bawra. The film stars Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh and Rakesh Roshan as college students, who play a prank and get involved with a notorious criminal. The film turns quickly from fun and frolic to a taut thriller. Iftekhar and Aruna Irani also star in the film. The film was remade in Malayalam language as Aruthu (1976), in Hindi again as Khiladi (1992), and in Marathi language as Bindhast (1999). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
