This movie is great masterpiece. Light Hindustani Classical beautifully rendered by Yesudas, Lata and others. On the top of it, all the relationships between different characters. Amazing performance by all stars. In one of the scenes Amitabh (as Alok) gives ride to his father and Om Prakash and quite exchange of quotes there
Amitabh is at the top performer like his 70's work like Namka Haram, Sanjog and Saudagar like he proves he is not only action hero but has other talents to show.
Rekha, Asrani, Farida Jalal and Sanjeev KUmar well supported him. One of the songs which is available on LP was dropped from movie was "Zindagi KO Sanwarna" by Yesudas. A must see movie..
