User Reviews

I love the music and Kabir Bedi

I watched this film when i was five years old and fell in love with Kabir Bedi instantly.

I have since watched it many times in the past thirty years and still enjoy it.

I think Kabir Bedi's eyes and smile are a reason enough to watch this film.

The acting and sound effects do leave a bit to be desired, however the story, scenery and costumes make up for that.

The music is lovely. Its simple but beautiful. Brilliant and will never tire of watching it.
