Every body who has seen any comedy movie of Kishore Kumar would like it and this movie arguably tops all the other movies in a sense that KK is pretending to be grown up with a kids brain (Munna) in this movie and still flirting successfully with the beauty queen Madhubala. The theme itself is worth a pot of gold besides all the songs in this movie are funny and Hit. Watch it, you won't regret it though the climax was grossly messed up.

Half Ticket is a laugh riot. An absolute classic from Kishore Kumar and director Kalidas.

Half ticket is the story of Vijay(Kishore Kumar) who is a fun loving son of a rich industrialist. He is always doing some pranks. His father becomes fade up of his pranks and habits, drives him out of the house. He then decides to go to mumbai but he does not have money for ticket. He them disguise himself as a crazy little boy who is half witted. At railway station a thief Raja Babu(Pran) hides a dimond in Munna's hip in bid to escape from police. And the rest of the story is how Raja Babu tries to retrieve his diamond from Munna while Munna/Vijay and Rajini comes close to each other.

This movie's biggest strength lies in the lead actor Kishore Kumar, and he ensures this is one man's show. He is simply brilliant in each frame. Absolutely crazy act and you will just love the accent and speech tone of Kishore Kumar.

Madhubala looks lovely and both of them KK and Madhubala looking so good together. Both of them have amazing chemistry together and even their scenes are crazy ones.

Director Kalidas ensures there is no any dull moment in the movie. An absolutely crazy movie which is fun to watch.

This is One of the BEST Crazy Kishore Kumar Comedy Classic ,anyone can Hardly Miss.Honestly i could Not sit for a Single Moment without laughing at the complete comedy that the maverick called Kishore Kumar bought.Anyone who loves comedy should take it as a MUST MUST Watch...this is Pure Genius of Kishore Da,who can go such wild in his antics & remain so comical that creates such awesome laugh riots possible,which r so impossible to control..Lovely Madubala & Multifaceted Kishore Kumar have the role of their life in this unparalleled comedy classic,with superlative songs,which makes it timeless & legendary to this day..10/10.

I saw this movie recently and was amazed by the quality of the hilarious comedy that this film offers. It beats the films of these days in terms of comedy. Kishor Daa has had a tremendous role and everything in the movie is up to the mark. I recommend everyone at least give it a chance and you will be a happy person on earth. Each scene of the film has something in it to make you laugh. You will be a laughing bag at the end. And then the film has a romantic story too which has a happy ending. A must watch for everyone. Even if it is black and white movie, the excellent movie that it is makes it a treat to watch. A lot of scenes has some fancy stuff in it that makes one think what quality the movies of earlier era had in them. Then the music quality of the movie is some of the best. The song that Kishor sings in both male and female voice is the most hilarious. This song is made alive by the play made by Kishor Kumar.

HALF TICKET is India's NO.1 Comedy Movie of Hindi Cinema . It was released during those days when majority of viewers like to watch " Rona-Dona" i.e Serious movies. They had poor sense of humour in those days.

Kishore Da marvellous . Even hard core fan of Kishore da as a singer would hardly know that the song he sang " AAKE SEEDHI LAGI DIL PE KATARIYA" in the movie (for both male and female voice) , the male voice played back by Kishore Da for Actor Pran was typically sang in actor Pran's accent and still not even managed to sing both sexes voice but did the history.

This makes Kishore Da ahead of any Great singer- He is Just Versatile , immaculate. He is EVEREGREEN actor & Singer. Besides this he was great Director/ Producer, Music Director, Lyricist ,Script writer and a Great Yoodler.

I can see why it was hit at time of it's release but it doesn't stand test of time.
