Advent of the Superstar - RAJESH KHANNA.
26 March 2021
I know many film critics will probably lambast me for calling this a Rajesh Khanna movie, but trust me fellas, RAJESH KHANNA truly steals the show here, inspite of the screenplay being heavily dominated by Sharmila Tagore.

Rajesh Khanna fits in perfectly in the 2 roles he played (both were very similar characters TBH). His looks, His Voice, His Dialogue Delivery and His Performance was something that'll definitely make you fall for him.

He brought in the much needed Charm and Style into this movie which is otherwise pretty serious.

Don't get me wrong, Sharmila Tagore did a wonderful job as Vandana Tripathi, first as a young girl in Love and then as a devoted and sacrificing Mother. She rightly recieved her first Filmfare Award for Best Actress for this Performance.

The Songs are wonderful, especially Mere Sapno ki Rani and Roop tera Mastana. The Storyline is a bit offbeat I'd say, but it keeps you glued to the Screen.

Wonderful Direction, Wonderful Music, Wonderful Locales, Wonderful Performances, And of course, The Unforgettable Charisma of Rajesh Khanna......... Highly Recommended.
