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.
