As they were leaving they bumped into Rajesh Khanna in the next room. They quickly took him aside and explained their situation. Khanna agreed to do the film right on the spot .

      70s movie best left there !!
      Depends when you are watching this movie, if you watch it today you would find it childish and immature. This is not a genre that suited to Rajesh Khanna. He looked awkward in the action sequences and the dialogues were flat. Mumtaz looked out of place with the short skirts. Om Prakash looked way too old to play the amorous villain. Over all the villains were mere buffoons instead of the scheming kind. Nostalgia doesn't help you to like this movie. Songs are the only redeeming feature. Even if it's a re-run on TV I would give it a pass.
