Kismat (1968, India)

Biswajeet and Babita on stage A James Bond styled film from the old Bollywood. A power-crazed man is going to overthrow government and control the world, and it is only our hero Biswajeet, aided by his girlfriend Babita Kapoor, who can stop him.


In drag on stage They are being chased by thugs and they run into a funfair. The thugs follow them in. How can they escape? Suddenly they notice that there is a small theatre, and there is the stage door. They go in.


In drag on stage A few minutes later, they are on stage doing a song and dance number, with Biswajeet crossdressed as a slightly tubby female, and Babita as a very slim man. She wears a moustache, and he wears the traditional nose ring jewellery.

This sequence lasts for several minutes. The thugs come into the auditorium, but they can't find them. However eventually there is a slip and they give themselves away. They have to run for it and they escape in a balloon.
