Good movie

I decided to watch this movie after the movies title song popped up on my YouTube stream. Based on the star cast I had little to no expectations from this movie.

Pros: A surprisingly good story, and a wonderful title song that is rendered beautifully by Kishore Kumar and plays through the movie and has its various 'mood' versions. Majority of the cast has played their roles well and Vijay Arora (Sudarshan) does a good job of playing the glue holding all the other characters together. Ably supporting him are I. S. Johar and Kamini Kaushal, who plays a rather bold character. I don't think I had seen her smoking nonchalantly in any other movie. Pran has a small supporting role will probably be remembered for being in the title song. Mehmood has a brief cameo, Kamal Kapoor plays a typical baddie, and Lalita Pawar's character has nothing much to offer. Aruna Irani is okay in her role.

Cons: The leading lady, Radha Saluja and Yogeeta Bali's character offer nothing to the film. Similarly, the character of Gulshan Arora has no screen presence and acting is surely not his forte. Direction at times is sloppy. Also, why put a wig on Vijay Arora ?

Overall: A decent movie which had the potential to be so much better. Worth a watch.
