I still remember this movie where Pran sahab plays role of a guy who tried to con his childhood friend and gets killed in the process, and later on the body is dumped into a cab of Mahmood (another Late actor), the way all the customers / passengers were freaked out was pretty funny. The movie had Kishore Kumar and Sunil Dutt too as a cameo.
