Watching this 73 years after its release, and having seen many technologically advanced movie productions, I was surprised at how much we enjoyed this movie. The music made it for us. The songs did not feel force-fitted. The background score felt appropriate. "Suhani raat dhal chuki" continues to be an all-time-favorite for me. "Ae dil tujhe kasam hai" inspires me to this day. "Kaun sune fariyad hamaree" is another evergreen song that I continue to enjoy.
We were fortunate to find a digitally restored copy on You Tube.
The performances of both, Madhubala and Geeta Bali, were superb and endearing. This was the career's best performance for Suresh, the hero.
The plot was better than most Bollywood movies I have seen in the last 60 years.
I did not care much for the prolonged duels, but I suppose the investors have to cater to the "action"-seeking segment of the market too.
I was also disappointed at such a negative characterization of the gypsies.
