''Jaali Note'' was sharply criticised by the critic Karan Bali. Bali referred to the film as "yet another urban crime thriller that Hindi cinema churned out regularly through the 1950s and early '60s." He stated that the film is poorly written and the script lacks realism and logic. The only aspect of the film praised by him was its score by [[O. P.

Jaali Note (transl. "Fake Currency") is a 1960 Hindi-language crime film directed by Shakti Samanta, based on the theme of counterfeit money. It stars Dev Anand and Madhubala, along with Helen, Madan Puri, Om Prakash.
The film was unsuccessful with critics but emerged as one of the biggest commercial successes of the year. Its popularity was further escalated by its soundtrack (composed by O. P. Nayyar), of which many songs turned out to be chartbusters.
Plot[edit | edit source]
Dinesh (Dev Anand) lives a middle-class lifestyle with his mother in Bombay. On his fifth birthday, his father left them never to return.
Now, Inspector Dinesh has grown up, is working for the Criminal Investigations Department, and has been assigned to stop the circulation of fake currency notes. His investigations take him to Sunderdas, who is killed. He then masquerades as social worker Abdul Rashid to try to get some information from a jailed convict, Banwarilal, to no avail. Finally, he dons the disguise of wealthy Kunver Vijay Bahadur, rents a suite in Hotel Paris and befriends Manohar (Madan Puri) and several other gangsters. He gets arrested and lodged in the same cell as Banwarilal. From there, the men break out and join Manohar and the rest of the gang.
It is here that Dinesh will find out the king-pin behind the racket. But before he can do anything, he finds himself confronting his past and will be trapped in an underwater fortress with his sweetheart, press reporter Renu (Madhubala).

Reception[edit | edit source]
Critical reception[edit | edit source]
Jaali Note was sharply criticised by the critic Karan Bali. Bali referred to the film as "yet another urban crime thriller that Hindi cinema churned out regularly through the 1950s and early '60s." He stated that the film is poorly written and the script lacks realism and logic. The only aspect of the film praised by him was its score by O. P. Nayyar, but here also he found the song's picturisations to be only satisfying.[2]
Box office[edit | edit source]
Despite negative reviews, Jaali Note was a big box office success.[2][3] In Samanta's words, the film "did quite well" and was financially profitable.[4] The film's music was also well-received by audience.[5] Overall, the year 1960 was an important year in Madhubala's career, as she starred in three back-to-back hits—Mughal-e-Azam, Jaali Note and Barsaat Ki Raat.[6]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Like in many other films, in this also you can see Dev Anand playing cards in bar.
- The car in which Madhubala is kidnapped and taken to Manohar's den, has old 'J&K' number plate, very rarely seen.
