The plot follows the general outline of Some Like it Hot. Two out-of-work musicians (Rishi Kapoor and Paintal) witness a murder and are spotted by the villains. In order to save themselves, they decide to disguise themselves as girls and hop on to a train to Kashmir with other girls in a singing band, where they met Neetu Singh, Bindoo and Asrani. The plot twists when a man falls in love with Paintal, and Rishi Kapoor tries to impress Neetu Singh by pretending to be an oil tycoon. At the end of the movie, the musicians' identities are revealed. However, the romantic pairs remain intact by the end credits, including the man and Paintal. The movie ends with the same line as Some Like it Hot: "Nobody's perfect!"

The film was among the first to play with ideas of same-sex love in Hindi films, and is considered important for its light-hearted treatment of themes such as sex and gender.

The movie stars Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, who were at the height of their popularity as an on screen couple at the time of this movie's release. Other actors include Paintal, Bindu and Madan Puri along with Rajindernath, Asrani and Bhagwan. The music was composed by Kalyanji Anandji.
