An average thriller

Dev Anand plays an undercover official, who along with his sidekick, has to take down an enormous villainous project all by himself. Vijay Anand directs it deftly but he has made stronger films than this and like many films from that era, it overstretches itself sometimes.

Prem Chopra feels almost wasted as a secondary character when he usually has so much potential playing the main antagonist. Kishore Kumar sang many songs for Dev Anand in his career and it caries on to this film. What doesn't carry on is the same level of melody and lyricism present in their heydays (read: fifties and sixties) .

Why no reviews till date

Like many Vijay anand's films these project was underrated .Classic thriller similar to lines of Jewel Theif and Johny Mera Naam Goldie himself played a character that is true to his nature very emotional from within but bindaas from outside. A good movie fun some of the aerial shots splendidly shot.

Can also be called an inspiration for famous Nicolas Cage Movie "National Treasure" .

Trivia
Vijay Anand was in debt after the flopping of Tere Mere Sapne. He decided to make Chuppa Rustam. He opted not to cast Mumtaz because she was due to get married and it would make no sense to repeat Dev and Mumtaz's pairing after Tere Mere Sapne. Chhupa Rustam was not a box office hit but it help clear up all the debts Vijay Anand had.
