Off beat movie !!!
15 August 2022
I think I watched this movie 40 years too late as the way you perceive the movie has changed in these decades. Audience of today gets a lot more technical than viewers in the 60s. For a scene to have an impact there must always be a buildup and I found it missing so the effect missed its mark. As for the songs, they are evergreen classics, but I found situatiions were not created for it, just abruptly starts. It was the golden age of hindi songs so no shortage of melodious numbers and looked like the director just made room for all the songs that was created. Fasting for rain seems to be a superstition that wouldn't relate to today's audiences. Relation between Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman is confusing at best. So, if I were to rate this movie in the 60s it would be 8* but in the 21st century as an evolved audience I will give it 5*.
