Examiner par srirammeera

Rekha in her first breakout role that showed she could carry a full movie on her shoulders no hero required. In many ways can be looked upon as her first move getting out of Big B's shadow into the spotlight on her own. She never looked back after this. Best actress and best film award for that year from Filmfare. Hrishikesh Mukherjee directed, RD helming the music, Asha Bhonsle's hit songs (Piya Banwari), the evergreen Ashok Kumar, Rakesh Roshan fun as always, unforgettable Dina Pathak as the martinet matriarch, and the rest of the cast .....how can you go wrong with this one? Must watch Hindi movie marking the end of the 70s, and the start of the 80s (last hurrah for Bell Bottoms!!). Also the movie marks a kind of high watershed for the sunny, wonderfully pleasant, breezy family friendly movies of Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Basu Chatterji etc and the music of RD throughout the 70s. In a couple of years or so Hindi movies would slide into a long dark period of misses and flops especially for Bachhan, and the tone of movies in general would remain dark moody & violent for many years and Hindi film music would hit a low point, as RD faded. First rays of Sunshine would come after QSQT. (Of course Smita Patil was a high point for the 80s,who can forget Mirch Masala?)

Watch this gem keeping all of the above background in mind......
