Cast

Performance

A must watch movie for people, who say Dharmendra is not excellent Actor. Dharmendra did justice to the role and did his job beautifully. He is at his best whether it is comedy, sad, happy, romantic or emotional scene. In some of the get ups you can not recognize Dharmendra. Rakhi looked very sweet and cute. You can't believe that it is her first movie by seeing her role as School Teacher.

Songs

Movie has one of the best song filmed on Dharmendra, Jhilmil Sitaron ka Aangan hoga.
