The other day, watching Mr and Mrs 55 for the nth time, I found myself realising that it shares a few details with the equally delightful Shammi Kapoor starrer Professor (1962).
For starters, both films have a poor, unemployed hero called Pritam:
Who’s in love with a rich girl…
Who is niece to a harridan called Sita Devi…
…played by Lalita Pawar.
Of course, the two films have completely different stories, but hey: are those mere coincidences?

Ooh, good one! I’ve only seen Mr & Mrs 55 once. Should probably rewatch it, I liked it a lot :-)
Was it the same writer?

No idea, really. Professor was written by Shashi Bhushan, but the credits for Mr and Mrs 55 don’t list anybody for the story. I wonder….
