Pancham's On-screen Avatar..

Rajendra Nath was a permanent fixture in Nasir Hussain movies, leading the comedy routine, right from the days of Dil Deke Dekho. Such was the case also in Pyar ka Mausam - where he played a character called "Jhatpat SIngh".

In this movie, however, his comedy routine, also involved another actor - for whom this was his second appearance in the movies. It is also rumored that before this movie, he was also offered Bhola's role in Padosan, but refused to do so.

Fortunately, despite being a competent performer, he never acted again in the movies - preferring his other vocation in the movies - that of a music composer. 

Yes, here is Pancham, playing a Bertie Wooster-cum-Stan Laurel kind of a character, engaging in slapstick routine as a perfect foil to Rajendranath.




And because yeh dil maange more, here is another scene from the same movie involving Pancham and Rajendra Nath.
