Quotes

Chandni: Can't we share our pain? You love each other. You are his wife; I'm just called his wife. Stay and live as you were; you with the actual right, and I with society's recognition. If you go I'll lose everything. I don't want more than I have already. I'll never come between you two, I promise. Please forgive me for what I said this morning...

Yash Chopra's Masterpiece !
22 July 2005 | by (Lahore, Pakistan) – See all my reviews

This is definitely among one of the earliest hit pictures accredited to Mr. Yash Chopra, who is still ringing the bells in Bollywood by his recent success of block buster Veer-Zara.

Besides, the direction and intriguing/exciting story, Rajesh Khanna has rendered his charismatic romantic touch with Shamila Tagore which is beautifully filmed by Mr. Chopra. It is indeed, one of the last hit films of the Rajesh Khanna Years, who was already experiencing the onslaught of the Angry Young Celluloid Intruder namely Amitabh.

It has a good bit of songs footing as well nice direction to call it a super hit.
