User Reviews

Excellent family drama with memorable songs

One of Raj Khosla's best movies - and a formula that has been tried again many times over the years, but old is gold. The movie is excellent family viewing with no nudity or scenes unsuitable for kids, it is a story that the whole family can relate to about 3 brothers and the inclusion of new family member and the effects this has on the household. To top a very good story the film is packed with excellent songs tuned by Laxmikant Pyarelal. The gem of all tracks is the fantastic duet "Dil Ne dil ko pukara" by the Late Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar. Very melodious and you can almost hear Rafi and Lata enjoying the song. "Yeh Reshmi Zulfen" by Mohammed Rafi has also stood the test of time and can still be enjoyed now.
