Caravan is one of Nasir Hussain's biggest and better known box office hits that boosted the careers of Asha Parekh and Jeetendra. It is also regarded as a mini-classic by certain critics.
Asha plays a rich girl who goes mad after her father kills himself by jumping from a window. A greedy baddie exploits her vulnerability by forcing her to marry him so he can get all her riches. Once it dawns on Asha what has happened, she escapes into a forest and hides from her evil husband. She encounters Jeetendra and his sidekick who both live in a caravan. And from there on follows a contrived adventure.
Asha gives a good performance as the confused girl. Jeetendra is..., well, his usual annoying self. The songs are the best particularly 'Ab Jo Mile Hain' and 'Kitna Pyara Wadha...'.
Caravan is an entertaining yarn but it's not a full classic. The story often seems contrived and the script is occasionally amateurish. But it is much better than Nasir Hussain's other movies such as Yaadon Ki Baaraat and Hum Kisise Kum Nahin. And in comparison to its remake in 2000, "Mela", Caravan is streets ahead.

Sandra Bullock who plays Angela Bennett lives and breathes computers. She does everything by the net- order pizza, book airline tickets or reveal personal details to someone who lives all the way in India. Even her neighbours have not seen her and her mother has a memory problem and does not recognise her daughter. She also works as a computer programmer for a computer company and gets rid of viruses attached to disks.
One day a very valuable disk is sent to her with all the programming details and baddies decide that they want it. Angela Bennett is an appropriate person to snatch it from because nobody knows her and if she ends up dead nobody will miss her. Therefore her life is completely changed and turned around before you can even say "watch out, you daft woman!".
Watching how Angela Bennett gets herself out of the mess is very thrilling. It is superbly directed and Sandra is believable. You find yourself rooting for her until the very end. It is her show all the way as there is no hero opposite her though Jeremy Northam is very effective as the baddie.
Rating: 8 out of 10.
