Clearly a Bollywood adoption of the Gothic novel 'Wuthering Heights' but clearly too late in Kumar's career!It would have been better had he made this film at the start of his career when his youthful looks were the rage.Ms.Waheeda looks too mature too!The story-line is good as well as the script but it all comes down to realizing the characters.Younger actors would have done better not that Kumar is bad.His acting is good but frankly after Gunga Jumna the passion that was Dilip Kumar was gone.His old allies Naushad and Shakeel do their best but it is Kumar who himself lets a splendid story down.Only for die-hard Kumar fans.Wish he had made this film with Kamini Khaushal!

Misleading but Good

I had watched this movie in 1966. Recently, I read that it was based on Wuthering Heights so I watched it again yesterday. Although the main characters in the movie do resemble those in the famous novel, it was misleading because the characters Heathcliff and Catherine are reunited at the end.
Good songs, great acting, and a beautiful Courtesan

Years ago I had watched this movie, and now thanks to Zee Cinema, watched it all over again in colour.
The performance by Dilip Kumar, Waheeda Rehman, Pran, and Rani are commendable.
The songs penned by Shakeel Badayuni, sung by Mohammad Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, and Lata Mangeshkar, continue to be popular even now, and the music has immortalized Naushad.
What particularly impressed me was the charm and beauty by Rani (who plays a Courtesan named Tara in this movie). In my humble opinion Rani outshines both the leading actresses in this movie.
This is a 'must see' movie.
