I am shocked to see 7.2 rating on Imdb for this classic cult by Chetan Anand. i mean c'mon what is wrong with indian audience and critics. This movie deserves to be in TOP 5 hindi movies ever. Direction, Story, Sceenplay, Music & most importantly Acting be all the legends in this movie is beyond perfect.

Highly recommended to everyone who is reading this review.

I loved the movie as it held my attention and interest till the end while offering a visual feast of sorts, replete with the ethereal beauty of Hema and the very handsome Khanna (in a supporting yet powerful role), the picturesque locales and overall colourful ambiance, be it in costumes or surroundings. Performance wise, Hema Malini proves herself worthy of being the centre of attraction and action of the movie, vinod khanna has lived his character to perfection, Priya rajvansh though seems lacklustre initially, transforms into a beautiful substantial portrayal of a proud indefatigable daughter. Raj kumar is....well, raj kumar again!Aruna Irani is wasted in a half baked character but the real let down is the hero himself. Yes, Rajesh Khanna disappoints on all counts. Period. I might be biased against his 'style of acting' but I did find it woefully short of the requirements of the role. Maybe that is why I found the character one dimensional most of the time. The only thing that works for him here is his superstar status. The music is excellent(the name of the music director guarantees that!) although the songs could be better choreographed. The story clichéd but told with a difference. The courtroom drama is the highlight of the movie and takes it to another level altogether. Crowned in the end with a perfect climax,overall, the movie is a must watch for film buffs.

A very well made movie with its brilliant story and editing being its hallmark. All of the melodious songs carried the story forward and were beautifully inserted at the right times. An evergreen movie which has stood the test of time even after 41 years.

Review By Kamal K

Well, for some strange reason i never watched this movie considering it will be boring. That was despite being an RD fan. But after watching i have the highest regards for Chetan anand for story,screenplay and direction. What a taut, crisp direction without a dull moment. Only the courtroom drama was little melodramatic.

Director chetan anand also features in the movie at duration 14:11 and 14:51 wearing a coat.
