Mehbooba features the combination of Rajesh Khanna with his pet director Shakti Shamantha. It also has Hemamalini with whom Kaka has been paired the most number of times in his distinguished film career. The film is a romantic musical with the theme of reincarnation.
The true spirit of the movie is its sublime music by R.D Burman. It is one of his best works. All the songs are melodious & beautifully picturised.
The film has got excellent locations, photography, music & dances excellent choreographed. Hemamalini get a chance to parade her dancing talents in this film. Villainy by Prem Chopra is routine.
Rajesh Khanna is as usual lovely in the 2 roles but here, he is a bit overweight. Yet his charm is intact. It was his home production & it was released to prop up his sagging career.
The weak point is the script though it has been adapted from a Gulshan Nanda novel. The 2nd half is very predictable & does not hold your interest that much.
The film released with high expectations because of the excellent team but met with only an average success.
However, Mehbooba is one of the greatest musicals of all times in Hindi cinema.
