Description

A village boy arrives in Bombay to serve the grandson of the man his grandfather served, and talks his way into a hotel job he is spectacularly unqualified for. Mostly an excuse for Amitabh Bachchan to perform, and the English monologue - 'I can talk English, I can walk English' - is one of the most quoted things he ever did.
