You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Plot==

On the run from the police, S.S. Kumar ([[Dharmendra]]), a thief, comes across a private invitation to the island of Sir John Locksley ([[Rex Harrison|Sir Rex Harrison]]) addressed to Raja Bahadur Singh when Kumar steals it from the Raja after the Raja is shot. Kumar then takes the Raja to a nearby hospital, dons a Sikh's turban, poses as the Raja's son, Bahadur Singh, Jr., and goes to the private island of Sir John with the stolen invitation. Also attending are K.P.W. Iyengar aka Romeo, a [[lothario]]; Dr. Dubari, a follower of all world religions; Colonel Columbus, a [[muteness|mute]];<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/evil-minds-in-disabled-bodies/article25037298.ece|title=Evil minds in disabled bodies|last=Balaji Vittal and Anirudha Bhattacharjee|date=25 September 2018|work=The Hindu|access-date=30 October 2019))</ref> and Countess Sylvia Rasmussen, an acrobat. A stunned Kumar finds out that all of these invitees are master criminals and thieves. Kumar's guise does not fool anyone, including his former sweetheart, Sheila Enders ([[Zeenat Aman]]) who works for Sir John.<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/a-look-at-the-last-scene-wedding-in-films/article24023779.ece|title=A look at last scene weddings in Bollywood|last=Vittal Balaji|date=29 May 2018|work=The Hindu|access-date=30 October 2019))</ref> The real Bahadur Singh, Jr. is then seen by his father's bedside. Nevertheless, Sir John permits him to stay on, as he feels that Kumar's career, though an amateur, is consistent with those already present. The reason why John has invited them is to find a successor to take his place as he is dying of cancer. He feels that one of his invitees can be trusted to take his place and for this he has arranged for them to steal the [[Excelsior Diamond|Shalimar Diamond]] worth 135 crores of rupees. This gem is placed in a secure room within his palace, which is alarmed, and guarded by armed men 24 hours a day. The ruby itself is located within a display case of [[bulletproof glass]] and surrounded by a minefield. He challenges one of them to steal the Shalimar - but if anyone fails then they are killed by the security system. Columbus, Rasmussen, and Dr Dubari perish while trying to steal Shalimar. Kumar claims, to the disbelief of the others, that Columbus let out a scream before dying. Columbus's body is then taken by the local tribe and revered. Romeo revokes his name from the competition, but he is killed by Sir John and reveals that he can walk. Sir John who has become insecure after claiming Shalimar, believes that these veteran criminals may try to rob it, hence he plays a handicapped and cancer card, and invited the criminals so that they would be killed  during the competition. Kumar then attempts to steak the Shalimar and he succeeds, the Local tribe leaders kill Sir John as he had promised the Shalimar to them. Later its shown that Kumar is actual a [[Central Bureau of Investigation|CBI]] officer (selected from the Army) on this special mission, to arrest the master criminals. Kumar and Sheila get married.
