              Good Remake
              This is the Hindi version of "Irma La Douce" & it is not one of those bad remakes.

              "Manoranjan" is a funny musical with good performances.

              However, the movie is finally released on DVD by Shemaroo & selling like hot cakes.

              Do not miss it if you are a Zeenat Aman fan, & check out the actress's' performance in her the early days of her career.

              Sanjeev Kumar gives one of his funniest performances.

              To support, there is Shammi Kapoor, Faryal & others.

              Manoranjan is a total entertainer.
