Brij (father of actor Kamal Sadana?), a Director, was producing his second movie Victoria No.203 in 1971-72 and he signed Dada Muni- Ashok Kumar and Pran �as main characters along with Naveen Nishchal as young hero and Saira Banu as heroine. When Ashok Kumar and Pran reached on the sets for the first day�s shooting, they asked Brij, what are the scenes and where is the screen play. Duo were taken aback when they were told that screen play was not ready as something was wrong with the writer writing screen play. Ashok Kumar and Pran were busy artists even at that stage and they could not afford more dates for this film. They told Brij clearly that he has to finish film within schedule else there is no hope to get their dates soon. Brij was also worried.�

Then Ashok Kumar and Pran jumped in to the field of screen play themselves and they used to write scenes day by day themselves on the sets with instant improvisations and these scenes were picturised by Brij.�

Victoria No 203 is a thriller with comedy involved in the plot. Its old diamond stealing plot which are hided by a thief in a Victoria (numbered 203) and whole film is revolving around the search of these diamonds.�

Victoria No 203 is known for a daring song and dance sequence of Saira Banu draped in two bath towels. She had suggested the picturization of this song and towels were her ideas.�

Its an entertaining movie.
