The Train

The songs "Gulabi Aankhe" and "Kis Liye Maine Pyar Kiya" along with Rajesh Khanna are the only good things about this movie. It's not very common to see Rajesh Khanna playing a cop, this is one of the fewest films where he plays a cop and does his part very well. Speaking of the movie, it's one of those "inspired by James Bond" movies of the 70s mixed with the most cliched storylines of the early 70s. The story is predictable from the beginning to the end. It doesn't work on the storytelling part so much to make the experience exciting, it's just another 70s movie that hasn't aged well. Even in the retrospect, the movie is cheesy by all means. Rajendra Nath is a fine comic relief and bonds perfectly with Rajesh Khanna. But, it doesn't make watching things (that we already have predicted correctly) any fun. The movie doesn't even feel like a crime thriller, rather feels like a cheesy and cliched 70s melodrama wearing a cape of crime thriller. There's really nothing much to talk about it. Obviously, it's one of the 17 consecutive hits Rajesh Khanna delivered during 1969-72. But it might easily be the worst of the bunch. Too stretched and boring at times. You can watch it if you want but you won't miss anything if you skip it.

Rating : 4.1/10.
