Repeation of an old failure

Brij known for Victoria 203, has taken the plot from an old Dilip Kumar movie and used it casting Super Star Rajesh Khanna in the movie. It is a good plot but lacks public liking. Rajesh Khanna looks jaded in the movie but puts in a stellar performance. The excessive use of extras mar the movie. The music by R D Burman could have been a great hit had the movie not bombed. The color technology used in the movie is unattractive and makes the movie look older than its actual release. The plus point of the movie is the portrayal of the dual characters by the Super Star Rajesh Khanna. He tries to put life into a plot used earlier. Salma Agha looks a misfit in the movie- Prem Chopra and Danny are good in their roles. But the reason for seeing the movie is R D Burman, Kishore Kumar and Rajesh Khanna. The trio have given a no of good songs in the movie and it is worth a watch-
