The plot of this film is similar to the later Asli naqli(1962) starring again Devanand. But while Asli Naqli was an entertaining watch, this just dulls down the hole.

A rich man(played by Dev anand), disillusioned by his life, goes to live among the poor and falls in love with a girl(played by Mala Sinha). The narrative starts in an adsorbing manner but soon starts to slow down, melodramatic sequences take over and the quality of the movie takes a beating.

The film has a couple of good songs, like "Koi Sone Ke Dilwala" but then that it is. The album isn't a match-winner here. Coming to the acting part, apart from Dev Anand, most of the others deliver below average performances.

It would be better to see Asli Naqli made on the same subject rather than this dull, dreary film.

This film, touted as India's first 70 mm film might have been well done technically(at least by the standards of those days) but fails as a cohesive unit. Raj Kapoor, the showman was growing old and his pairing with Rajshree does not seem convincing. The villain(played by Pran) was a one dimensional character with little character development. Sure, there were some great shots of exotic locations around the world but the lack of storytelling destroys everything. The film fails to grasp the viewers interests and even the comical situations are terribly unfunny. It is only the surprisingly good music score which renders it watchable. All in all, a weak film that merits little reason to be seen.

Duniya is a courtroom drama where an advocate(played by Devanand) tries to save his childhood friend. The story in the film is complex and sometimes seems to lose its way. The first half part consists of songs(which are quite good to listen), dances, melodramatic sequences and what not. The character of Johnny Walker is quite out of place in the film and it only serves to extend the runtime of the film.It is the second part where the real drama takes place and the movie comes to its true core. Devanand is both stylish and plays his role with confidence. Vyjantimala is OK, quite melodramatic in her style. The songs, like "Jawan Tum Ho" are a treat to listen to. In conclusion, it is a good courtroom drama(it could have been better had it not been bogged down by the first half).
