Loosely based on "The Sound of Music" (though Gulzar insists it was inspired by "The Turkish Family"), this movie is a must-see for the performances - especially Jaya Bhaduri and the children. Jeetendra is good too, in his odd wooden way. Pran is good as usual.

Once more, for the umpteenth time, music composer Rahul Dev Burman spins out memorable gems. Listen to "Musafir hoon yaaron", "Beeti na bitaye raina", "Saare ke saare", and "Mitwa", and you feel a sense of loss. How Pancham was underrated in his time, and what more he could achieved, if he was around with us. What beats is me is how all the so-called judges missed awarding R.D. for such out of this world music scores.

A nice story based on THE SOUND OF MUSIC. A hit in its times, it has some good acting by Sanjeev Kumar, Jaya Bhaduri and Jeentendra. Vinod Khanna has a small role in the movie. Pran is trying to bring up his grandchildren, children of his dead son, Sanjeev Kumar. The children are very obstinate, but things start changing when a teacher(Jeetendra) come to take care of the children. The eldest grand child(Jaya Bhaduri) falls in love with the teacher and things sort out.

In a time of speed and instant gratification, you have these old gems which need you to cast aside your need for a climax every 10 minutes and just tag along for a ride, with a family that is in need of a relationship

A beautifully directed, scripted, edited, acted story, watching this made me truly appreciate not only Gulzar (for the hundredth time!) but also someone like Jeetandra who had the strength and the imagination to work in something like this. It is often that we forget that Jeetandra was an actor who is responsible for a huge number of realistic cinema when they were not called 'art movies'

A slow tale of orphaned children who feel lost and are destructive in their need to get attention or perhaps escape from the rigidity of an unfamiliar face, and the grief of losing their parents, the sweetness and gentleness of the stranger who comes in and sweeps them along on an adventure to discover their grandfather and the joy of it all.

If you want an evening of quiet joys, curl up with a drink, and watch, with patience and get engaged.

Review By Kamal K

Though it is an Indian adaptation of The Sound of Music , it's very beautiful . It has a message against the traditional belief -" spare the rod and spoil the child ". A must watch for all modern educationists.

About a man who teaches music in a way not known in her household they are brought up by their overbearing guardian not a guardian but also their father since their father has passed away he takes them out ect sort of makes them feel different which they like to see guess they were not unhappy with their father at present who is like this guess they would have liked their earlier father think it's about the earlier movies of jeetendra anyway moneys worth a person could be liked if both think alike not at cross purposes.
