Nargis, Nadira and Rajkapoor are good in this movie. Direction by Rajkapoor and photography by Karmakar is also good. Shankar Jaikishan's music is outstanding. Songs are still popular even after 45 years. Lyrics by Shailendra and Hasrat were quite meaningful. Mera joota hai japani, Ichak dana, Mur mur ke na dekh, Dil ka haal sune dilwala, Yeh raat bheegi bheegi.. all songs were very hit.. but the best was Ramaiya vasta waiya..
