Chhaila Babu is a 1977 Bollywood movie starring the legendary Rajesh Khanna in the lead role, with Zeenat Aman and Govardhan Asrani in supporting roles. The movie was directed by Joy Mukherjee and produced by R.C Roongta. The music of the movie was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. The storyline revolves around Babu (Rajesh Khanna), a man who lives life on his own terms. Babu is a fun-loving guy who loves his freedom and has no interest in any kind of responsibility. He becomes friends with Sherie (Zeenat Aman), who is working as a tourist guide. Babu and Sherie soon develop feelings for each other, but Sherie is not impressed with Babu's laidback attitude.

One day, Sherie's brother Captain Sameer (Asrani) arrives in town. Sameer is a strict military officer who is dedicated to his duty. He is disapproving of Babu's carefree attitude and tries to keep him away from his sister. However, Babu is not easily deterred and continues to pursue Sherie.

As the story progresses, we see that Babu's irresponsible behavior is causing problems for Sherie and Sameer. The situation reaches a boiling point when Sameer catches Babu taking drugs at a party. Sameer decides to send Babu to a rehabilitation center to get him off drugs and teach him some discipline.

The rehabilitation center is like a boot camp, and Babu faces some tough challenges there. However, he manages to become a changed person and realizes the importance of responsibility. He returns to Sameer's house a new man, much to Sherie's delight.

The rest of the story is about Babu's efforts to win over Sameer's approval and prove himself to be a responsible man. He even takes up a job and starts working hard to earn a living. The climax of the movie is full of emotions and drama.

Chhaila Babu is a typical Bollywood masala movie filled with romance, drama, and comedy. Rajesh Khanna steals the show with his effortless acting and charming personality. Zeenat Aman looks stunning and delivers a good performance. Govardhan Asrani, as always, manages to tickle our funny bone.

The movie's music is also worth mentioning, with some memorable songs like 'Le Jayenge Le Jayenge', 'Aaja Aaja Mere Mithu', and 'Aisa Na Ho Armaan'. Laxmikant-Pyarelal's music complements the movie's story and adds to its entertainment value.

Overall, Chhaila Babu is a fun movie that provides pure entertainment. It is a must-watch for Rajesh Khanna fans and anyone who enjoys classic Bollywood movies from the 70s. The movie's message of responsibility and the importance of family is still relevant today and makes it a timeless classic.
