Colourful slice of evergreen magic
Maharaja Vikram decides to marry his daughter Anuradha to his commander's son, Pratap. However, years later, Anuradha is abducted by bandit Suraj while on her way to Pratap's coronation.
Rajendra Kumar cuts a swashbuckling figure in Suraj, a classy period swordfighting epic that is famous for abundant of evergreen songs, melodies that, unlike modern songs of today, caresses your mind persistently, and the picturisation of the songs are just as superb, the scenery and colour is exquisite.
As for the film, it's highly entertaining film that conjured up a romantic image of good triumphing evil, and there's not a boring moment. Ajit started his villainy here and is dastardly foe against Rajendra Kumar who really suits this type of film. Vyjantimala and Mumtaz are great.
