What happens

Bundal Baaz is a 1976 Hindi fantasy comedy film directed by Shammi Kapoor. The film stars Rajesh Khanna in the lead role, with Shammi Kapoor, Sulakshana Pandit, Ranjeet and Johnny Walker in supporting roles. Khanna was impressed with the character of The Phantom and hence he designed an entire sequence in this film around it. This film was not commercially successful at the time of its release, but was critically acclaimed. However, over the years, this film has gained a cult following and appreciation from audiences upon its screening in television. This was Shammi Kapoor's second and final directorial effort after Manoranjan (1974). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
