The story of the movie is a very old one which makes boring for the true cinema lovers, Rajesh Khanna had played his Character in a great way.Prem Chopra is best as villain. Neetu Singh the heroine of the movie looks very beautiful.and also acted very well.It is a movie for people who love comedies. The song that takes place in the jail looks good and enjoyable. The climax of the movie is as usual which anybody can guess .Its a must to see for all the Rajesh Khanna fans. I give 7/10 for this movie
