Great acting , Great songs , Perfect direction ..A master class of old Indian Cinema

I watched the movie and can't resist appreciating one of the master class from Indian Cinema. What a depiction of friendship !! just amazing....This is third movie which broke me in tears , the first two being Mera Naam Joker and Shree 420. The two actors Sudhir Kumar and Shushil Kumar have performed as if they were born to play the role. They can't be so much bonded even in real life as they are in the movie. Direction is also perfect with each emotion being captured and portrayed so simply but vividly . Mohan bringing lantern for Ramu was just superb and the way Ramu's examination result is disclosed to Mohan at the end is so heart touching and emotional that one can hardly resist ones tears. I was lucky to watch it alone at night with no one around to disturb and was just captivated in the movie for 3 hours.

Three cheers to Tarachandji.....Hats off to you....

It will be a great injustice not to comment on songs. No wonder the film won all five best Filmfare awards of 1965. There couldn't be a better lyrics and better voice . I usually fwd the songs while watching a movie on DVD but this was an exception as the songs are worth listening. Md. Rafi at his best ...

It feels so bad that with so much advanced technology now a days in Bollywood somehow the real art and classics are lost and worst is that the loss is beyond repair with increasing commercialization and glamor. Gone are the days of real classics.

A must watch movie for all who love Indian Cinema.
