Trivia:
Much of the film was shot in Nepal. A scene in the movie is shot in a Nepalese rug factory with many locals used as extras. As the footage is over 30 years old, it can be viewed as a sort of ethnic documentary on Nepalese culture. more

Great music and good looking actresses but poor story, 22 August 2001
Author: ds-12 from Atlanta

Dev Anand (or Prashant) and Zeenat Aman ( Jasbir/Janice) are siblings brought up in different countries. Because of poor parenting (crudely shown), Zeenat joins the hippie movement and also does drugs. Dev Anand after getting a letter from his father to locate Jasbir in Kathmandu visits that place, falls in love with Mumtaz( Shanti) and is also accused of stealing antiques.

Jasbir has blocked her painful childhood memories and Dev Anand sings the song which he used to sing when he was a kid to jog her memory.

Other than the great R.D.Burman music and Anand Bakshi lyrics and the footage shown about the ISKON movement and the beautiful stars and the Kathmandu location, the movie sucks big time. The story is extremely weak.
