Mehmood plays , the South Indian music teacher who is obsessed with Carnatic music. His exaggerated Tamil accent, his iconic song “Ek Chatur Naar” (with the line “Aaeeeee… hahahahaha” ), and his rivalry with Kishore Kumar is comedy gold. Critics call it a "caricature," but Mehmood turned it into an art form. He won the Filmfare Best Comedian award for this role.
