I had posted this question at this forum many years back. However, there was NO
satisfactory answer
 
While, each and every result displayed by: Google auntie, lists the word as
 
'first heard as title of film: FUNTOOSH (released in 1956)
 
But that is not correct. The word was first used in film: TAXI DRIVER
(released in 1954). It was spoken (most probably 2 times, one of
which was in a scene inside of the Taxi) by film's leading lady: Kalpana
Kartik and addressed to Dev Anand, the film's hero.
 
Both Taxi Driver and Funtoosh were directed by: Chetan Anand and
produced by: Chetan + Dev Anand. The word: FUNTOOSH was
probably coined by Chetan or Vijay Anand (is listed as co-writer
of dialogues for Taxi Driver
 
Info at Wiki and other places that FUNTOOS
 
H was 6th highest grossing
fim is by an IDIOT. The film was a big FLOP. The brothers (Chetan and Dev)
split in their movie-making business, ie: NAVKETAN (coined from: NAV = New
and KETAN = Chetan's son). Dev became the owner of Navketan
 
An excellent conversion of TAXI DRIVER can be viewed at:

p.s.: I saw FUNTOOSH first time in early 60's and marked it as - Good for 1 view
and ofcourse the song: Dukhi Maan Mere is a great creation
