Haunting Film Haunting Melody., 28 December 2004
7/10
Author: Herag Halli from Heraganahalli, India

If ever there was an haunting voice that had depth, resonance it was Hemant Kumar. The song"Tum Pukar Lo," played on Waheeda Rehman and Dharmendra (a brief stint) is reflective of the melody that was the mainstay of Indian Music Composers the likes of Hemant Kumar who preferred to sing his own compositions. Then there is Waheda Rehman-God bless this woman for her eternal beauty and acting talent. She was incredibly convincing as the "mental patient", the scene where her face comes down on a barbed mesh-incredible piece of acting. Then we had the thespian of acting in a true sense of the word-Rajesh Khanna. Khanna and Rehman, were born actors and the duo were probably the best Screen pair next to Guru Dutt. The movie is a bygone Classic that very few appreciate. When you need some nostalgia and good Cinema this movie and "Anand" will take you back to the decade of the Indian Cinema to be cherished since there will never be another Khanna, Rehman or maestro like Hemant Kumar.
