- Budtameez (English: Insolent) is a 1966 Bollywood film produced by Jagdish Varma and directed by Manmohan Desai. It stars Shammi Kapoor, Sadhana in lead roles, along with Brahm Bhardwaj, Laxmi Chhaya, Jagdish Raj, Kanan Kaushal, Purnima, Sunder, Kamal Mehra in supporting roles. Budtameez’s distinctiveness arises from the star buzz provided by its leading cast members Sadhana and Shammi Kapoor, individually, and as a pair. In the five years (1961 to 1965) preceding the release of Budtameez, Sadhana had on average at least one annual hit film which was on the list of the ten highest-grossing films for the year. Specifically, she was the lead female cast member in the hit films Mere Mehboob (1963), Woh Kaun Thi? (1964), Rajkumar (1964), Arzoo (1965) and Waqt (1965). According to Upperstall, an online reference website, “If Sadhana was the definitive enduring female icon of the swinging 1960s, then without a doubt her male counterpart was Shammi Kapoor. Certainly no other Hindi film hero made the art of boy chasing girl a more enjoyable and playful affair than Shammi Kapoor.” Like Sadhana, in the five years preceding the release of Budtameez, Shammi Kapoor too had on average at least one annual hit film which was on the list of the ten highest-grossing films for the year. In particular, he played the male lead in the hit films Junglee (1961), Dil Tera Deewana (1962), Professor (1962), China Town (1962), Kashmir Ki Kali (1964), Rajkumar (1964) and Jaanwar (1965). Finally, two years before acting in Budtameez, Shammi Kapoor and Sadhana acted as a pair for the first time in the hit film Rajkumar (1964), which was the fifth highest-grossing film of 1964, attesting to their audience appeal as a pair.
