Sharafat is a 1970 Hindi film. Directed by Asit Sen it stars Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Ashok Kumar, Sonia Sahni and Jagdeep. The screenplay was written by the eminent[citation needed] Hindi satirist Krishan Chander (author of such dark classics of Black Humor & Satire as Ek Gadhe Ki Maut (The Death Of A Donkey).
The Mujra ( Courtesan Dance ) number : "Zamaane Mein Sharifon Ka, Aji Woh Haal Dekha, Ke Sharaafat Chodd Di Maine..." {trans.: "When I saw the way the righteous conduct themselves in this world, I gave up righteousness..."} was a block-buster hit[citation needed] across the country and catapulted its box-office earnings.[citation needed] In Bollywood, the popularity of a song has much the same effect as the winning of an Oscar does to ticket sales in the US - which is the main reason[citation needed] why most commercial movies continue to have 5-7 songs, whether or not they contribute to the continuity of the screenplay.

Plot: Owning several aquariums, fish-loving Mumbai-based Guru makes a living stealing cars, getting them to his garage-owner friend, Ganpat Gajanan Jagirdar, and re-selling them through an associate, Sharafat. One day he steals a Mercedez and takes it to Ganpat. They inspect the car, find a bag containing Rs.1 Crore, decide to keep it and improve their lifestyles. Ganpat 'refurbishes' the vehicle, and Sharafat finds a buyer in Suleman, who quite unfortunately, recognizes it, and informs the owner, Fauzdaar - a ruthless gangster and money-lender. Guru is located, interrogated brutally, and agrees to return the cash which is still stashed in the garage. When he goes there - Ganpat, who had hidden the cash, has met with an accident, is gravely injured, and requires immediate hospitalization. While recuperating, the doctor finds that he has completely lost his memory. With rising fears of a meteor crashing in the city, a furious Fauzdaar gives Guru three days to find the cash and return it to him.
