A very unsatisfactory melodrama about a cancer patient who is a medical student turned painter...Sharmila Tagore plays a part time lover to Rajesh Khanna who takes unwanted risks in raising her husband's suspicion about her fidelity by visiting her former lover and the turns into a kind of Mother Teresa in the end is OK overall but Rajesh Khanna is dashingly handsome and carries the film on his shoulders throughout. No wonder this was a high point in his illustrious career, Feroz khan as troubled husband fits the bill. A sad film , where all goes in vain but with great songs of Kishore Kumar ( Zindagi ka safar, Jeevan se bhari ) and Jo tumko woh pasand by Mukesh are the highlights of the film. Asit Sen getting best Director award from Filmfare for this a bit much to swallow, surely 1971 had other admirable contenders..
