  • 3 stars out of 5

    This sprawling tale of star-crossed love and heroic sacrifice was its director/star Raj Kapoor's first colour film and is one of the earliest Bollywood pictures to utilise European locations. It has a decidedly homoerotic tone as Kapoor and his socially superior buddy, Rajendra Kumar, become involved in a tug-of-war for the affections of Vyjayanthimala, though she is the one finding it difficult to pierce their long-standing exclusivity. Surprisingly suggestive in its approach to sex, yet also subtly insistent in its avowal that women get a raw deal in Indian society, this tragic melodrama also has more than its share of memorable musical routines.

    A film with a hypnotic song

    This is a film from the golden era of Indian film making, a ?classic?. The storyline and plot may not be the greatest, but the emotion in the film is intense. The central song is hypnotic; it transports you into the emotion of the singer. It?s probably the most hypnotic song I?ve come across in a film.

    Eternal love triangle

    Excellent in all respects - Vyjanthimala is fabulous. Great music -

    though the concept of an educated Indian girl not having any say in who she marries was questionable then and now as well. A man sacrificing his love for a friend happens only in Indian films - but very enjoyable nevertheless.
