An absolutely fantastic and fun filled movie. The songs are so beautiful , on that count alone this movie deserves 9 stars. The composer is the inimitable O P Nayyar who has crafted each song with great taste and each song is a connoisseur's delight. The song picturization is just excellent and Shammi and Sharmila excel in these scenes. The dance sequence " Nigahon Nigahon" is a feast to the eyes. And then the truth hits us hard as to how the Bollywood standards in music has deteriorated from then to now. I run out of superlatives for this movie's music and its picturization in the background of breathtaking locale. The entire movie is shot in Kashmir and the director Shakti Samanta deserves great praise for the finesse with which he has selected the different locations. The movie is shot mostly on outdoor locations and the camera work is just superb.It is sad we don't get to see such movies anymore. This movie has lost none of it's charm even to this day. This movie ranks as one of the greatest achievements of the commercial cinema genre. The rest of the cast apart from Shammi,Sharmila and Pran are just about enough for their roles. Pran gives a hilarious twist to the villain's role with his manneristic laugh. The storyline, the plot and the rest of the stuff about this movie is just about average as can be expected in a commercial potboiler.
All in all it is fit to form a part of the discerning collector's treasure.
