During my vacation I got an opportunity to watch this Classic Bollywood film of the first superstar of Indian Cinema Rajesh Khanna a.k.a Kaka. He was marvelous in his role. In most of the films we've watched Kaka in romantic roles but in Dushman, he is in action Avatar. He looked totally reckless and arrogant. Mumtaz was so beautiful and energetic that you can't even blink your eyes when she's on-screen. Her on-screen chemistry with Khanna has always been a favorite topic for entertainment magazines.
Dushman, being a long film yet successfully keeps viewers invested and entertained. The actors looked credible and with a good storyline, Dushman gives you a great cinematic experience. Watching Bollywood film of the early days was such a heart whelming and refreshing experience. Every actor is remarkable. One of the assets of the film is its euphonious songs. Melodious Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar's voice gives you a mellifluent feel. "Maine Dekha Tune Dekha" is my personal favorite.
Overall you can watch Dushman with your whole family. It's an amazing and beautiful movie. If you are a Kaka fan then you can't miss this film at any cost.
