    best love story ever
    This movie has showed me what is true love. It reminds me of an essay by Krishanmurthy how love is not jealousy, not possession or control over each other not just companionship. Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore had unconditional love. Movie is free of love among blood relationships.

    Movie scores century in every area weather it is acting, script, direction or music. Songs in movie not just entertains us but take movie to a new height. Both Rajesh and Sharmila has done a great job.After Anand this is Rajesh Khanna's best acting at the end of movie i had tears in my eyes.
