    this Bollywood movie to be seen for its antique value
    saw this film for its antique value, being passionate about Bollywood movies. As boxofficeindia.com rightly depicts the status of this film amongst all those released in 1958 as 'Above average' because this picture is worth watching only for its two popular songs, story and Howrah bridge in that order. This was the first film of Shakti Samant as producer and a good one to begin with. Although Ashok Kumar and Madhubala were very popular for those times, but they did not seemed to be an extra ordinary pair, as Ashok Kumar, appeared slightly above age as the main hero against the young Madhubala, irrespective of the same, one did not mind seeing them together for their acting. Anyone who has time and has made it a point to see all the Top 10 popular films of a particular year, then it is worth it. Overall it is not going to disappoint to see this film.
