User Reviews

Excellent musical

This is a great musical movie from the Shakti Samanta - Rajesh Khanna camp which has excellent music by Laxmikant Pyarelal. The characters are very strong- Ashok Kumar, Vinod Mehra, Nirupa Roy put in a good performance. The movie is a remake of a Bengali movie but retains its originality. Rajesh Khanna as usual puts up a great performance and is good in comedy, romance and drama. He shows the class of being a Super Star in the movie. This runaway hit has also good story, excellent editing and good direction. It is a must see and the songs of Kishore Kumar in the movie are excellent, it seems that Rajesh Khanna is singing them. How they suit each other.
