Trivia
Mehmood was producing Bombay to Goa (1972) and wanted a protagonist for it. He was brain storming with his colleagues so as to who should be cast for the lead role when a certain somebody entered the room. He had met him only once before. He saw him and suggested to his colleagues that why don't we cast this "Lamba Ghoda" (Tall Horse). His colleagues agreed later on and the role went to Amitabh Bachchan. See more »Soundtracks

Even though I don't speak much Hindi, I got a big kick out of this movie. My mother-in-law, who was born in India, rented this title on DVD and watched it while she was visiting us.
I was busy doing something on my computer, while she watched the movie in the background. The unusual songs caught my ear, and I ended up watching much of the movie with her. The title song, "Bombay to Goa," is a note-for-note cover of the Beach Boys' "Help Me Rhonda." The lyrics have been changed, but the melody is clearly the same.
Another song is a medley of old rock-n-roll tunes, sung in English, by an Indian woman in a nightclub. She did a few bars from a song which I believe is called "Jezebel." I have a version from Herman's Hermits. It was very odd to hear this 60s garage song in a Bollywood musical. The same medley also included a portion of "Fever," also sung in English.
