* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: From the architecture of the mansion, the color and look of the furniture, the then-brand-new luxury cars, to the clothing, hairstyles, the swinging Pink Panther-esque score and the producers daughter being a ditzy hippie, this film is almost as '60s as it can get! The only thing missing is psychedelic trippy visuals.

* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: People in India seem to view Hrundi V. Bakshi as a harmlessly amusing caricature of their culture. His line "In India, we don't ''think'' who we are, we ''know'' who we are" gets quoted a lot. Indeed, the film had an impact in India’s film industry; the legendary actor Creator/AmitabhBachchan cited Bakshi as an influence on his role as bumbling bellboy Arjun Singh in ''Namak Halaal'', and Creator/SatyajitRay liked the film so much he asked Sellers to star in ''The Alien''; unfortunately, his death led to the film getting cancelled.

* ValuesDissonance: Bakshi meets a famous Western film star named Wyoming Bill Kelso who, upon Bakshi telling him he is from India, immediately draws fingers guns on him and calls him an Injun in a joking manner which Bakshi takes in gleeful stride. Charming and [[FairForItsDay commonly accepted]] at the time, wildly racist and likely to get you punched today.

* {{Adorkable}}: Hrundi. He's clumsy, socially awkward and nothing seems to ever go right for him but that's what makes him such a sympathetic character.

** Bakshi being subtly told by the director that his wristwatch looks lout of place in a period film. Bakshi doesn't get what he's implying until the director asks him what time it is. Bakshi instinctively checks his watch and lets out a deadpan "Oh my god".
** The alcoholic waiter
** Bakshi desperately trying to find a toilet, then accidentally trashing the only one
** Bakshi losing his shoe, which ends up on a waiter's tray without him noticing. The waiter offers Bakshi an appetiser and he responds with a casual:
---> '''Bakshi:''' Well I'm on a diet, but what the hell!
