This was a reasonable film, although a little slow in places. Geeta Bali and Guru Dutt made a nice pairing. Guru Dutt was very dashing as throughout the film - sad he died young in real life. Some good songs especially "Taare chaandni afsaane" which was very melodic, as was "ae dil ae dilwale". "Har zabaan ruki" was quite dramatic and Geet Bali carried it well - nice, inspiring lyrics. "Mujhe dekho hasrat.." was sung beautifully by Talat Mehmood - sad and clear.

The film didn't have enough action in the finale and the villains got killed abruptly and quickly - not enough conflict between the General and his forces and the rebels, probably because too much time taken to establish the romance between the lead pair. All in all it could have been better paced. There were also a few nice comedic touches from Johnnny Walker and the Portuguese lady. Finally verdict - catch it on TV.
