Trivia
It was Bimal Roy who advised Yash Chopra against casting the Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor as the three brothers. He reasoned that the kapoor brothers look like each other so much that anybody can point out that they are definitely related which will kill the whole separated brothers story arc.

Goofs
Ravi violates courtroom procedures and rules of evidence in numerous ways, including badgering witnesses, presenting evidence through means other than testimony, arguing directly to the bench rather than to the jury, etc.

Featured review

Stylish, if typical, 60s multistarrer with great music

The story of Waqt is pretty standard: an earthquake separates the members of a wealthy family with three sons, who are brought up as a result in separate and quite different circumstances. Eventually, of course, the family is reunited, but not before variuous twists and turns culminating in the three brothers appearing in court in connection with the trial for murder of one brother, with the other brothers being the defence counsel and a witness for the prosecution, respectively. Pretty standard stuff - but stylishly presented and with strong performances,particularly by Sadhan as the love interest of one of the brothers, and Sunil Dutt as the lawyer brother. Nice stuff, great music, lavish sets, and a pretty cool courtroom denouement!
