"They don't make them like they used to"

BRILLIANT, A MUST SEE!

Watch this film and then you will realise what the old folk keep going on about. You should also realise after watching this why Madhubala was and always will be the greatest actress ever to have graced the Indian screen.

Join Madhubala on one night of pure madness as she outwit's one villain after another.

A brilliant story line, hilariously funny, full of twists and turns to keep you guessing. This is one of the rare occasion's that I have seen a female in the lead role and the film is actually good.

Severely entertaining.

Fabulous entertainment from a matchless beauty

In the scope of one night the film brings to light various dark characters loose on the streets and climaxes in an efficient exposure of their deeds on the break of dawn at the Gateway of India.

A thoroughly enjoyable film no doubt, with eyes constantly riveted on Madhubala who turns in a captivating performance. The film is another example of a socio-entertainment theme of the mid fifties (Jagte Raho being another)which takes a view of the murky world of anti-social elements after sundown.

Madhubala's bewitching beauty and the effortless manner she lures the anti-social elements is worth a watch. Adding immense listening pleasure is the Madan Mohan tuned mesmerizing number 'Do ghadi woh jo paas aa baithe'. A 'must see' for sure!
