Here are some lesser-known facts about the 1979 Bollywood film "Gol Maal":

“Gol Maal” was directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and starred Amol Palekar, Utpal Dutt, and Bindiya Goswami in lead roles.
The movie’s title is a play on the Hindi words “gol” meaning round and “maal” meaning money, but in the context of the film, it refers to confusion.
The movie was inspired by a Bengali play called “Jalchhobi” written by Manoj Mitra.
The character of Bhawani Shankar, played by Utpal Dutt, became iconic and is still remembered for his mannerisms and dialogue delivery.
The film was initially rejected by the Central Board of Film Certification due to its plot revolving around a young man pretending to be a classical music expert. However, it was later cleared after some cuts were made.
The movie’s music was composed by R.D. Burman, and its songs, including “Aane Wala Pal” and “Golmaal hai sab golmaal hai ,” became popular.
The movie was a critical and commercial success and won several awards, including the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for Amol Palekar and the Filmfare Award for Best Screenplay for Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Sachin Bhowmick.
The film’s success led to a remake called “Chor machaye shor in 2002 and Bol Bachchan in 2012” , which was not a direct continuation of the original story but featured a similar plot and characters.
