The plot is hardly properly defined in this film. It starts hastily, with the backgrounds hazy and the end role only to bring a curtain on the feud between two rival families.
Amongst this, we get to see the acting prowess of Dilip Kumar, Sanjiv Kumar and Balraj Sajni. Especially the scenes where Dilip Kumar is pitted against Sanjiv Kumar are a treat to watch. Sadly, the film bogs down in the middle (like many films from that era), has an array of below average songs (it's dependent on the listener obviously, but I believe that Hindi cinema in general has to bear the burden of song and dance sequences in general; for every great film that integrates great music, there are ten that are redundant ) and the ending guessable. Also, Vyjantimala also acts as the female lead but I always thought that she was taken more for her dancing prowess than her acting chops.
