Around the World is a 1967 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Pachhi. It stars Raj Kapoor as an Indian who travels around the world with eight dollars. The film also starred Rajshree, Ameeta, Om Prakash, and Mehmood. It was India's first film to be released in 70 mm format and was shot all around the world.

Reception[]

The film was a commercial failure at the box office. In 1977, Kapoor told to India Today that he dislikes the film, he also criticised Pachchi's direction, and that he acted in the film for money, because "like Orson Welles, I had to act in bad films to make good ones myself".^[1]
