Storyline

The film was a debut for Amitabh Bachchan, where he plays a muslim poet cum freedome fighter. His character in the movie is shown to be the cowardice type who tries to run a mile from violence, the movie will be certainly a pleasure for all those Bachchan fans to see him in his very first screen appearance in a Black and White flick.
The story is pretty decent, 7 indians unite to free Goa from Portuguese soldiers. However screenplay certainly needed a little more attention in order for movie to move abit faster than a snails pace (in certain portions of the movie). everyone plays thier parts pretty well. Over all i would rate the movie a 5.5/10
