How bold poster is not that bold movie
dkgupta49329 July 2021
For the era of 1970 the movie can be bold subject but for many other parallel movie seems weak. The picture quality and direction looks weaker.

A bold subject of its time.
cohuman1 January 2022
Radha Saluja looks cute and doe eyed and innocent as a rich girl with not much experience with men . Anil Dhawan seems to have done many adult themes of those days . Here he is a writer without much luck. Radha's father Iftikar refuses to give his daughter to him citing status . Radha revolts and marries him after a couple of duets and chance meetings . Before that they also get intimate in a beach . When Radha keeps waiting and calling him for his first night after marriage, he says casually and non chalantly , " whats the new thing going to happen this night. It has already happened . ". This speaks volumes of his attitude towards sex. This itself was a very bold topic of those days . Anil starts writing a lot of adult stuff (on the advice of his publisher ) to get rich and they do get rich. Their life style under goes a lot of changes. They get addcited to a lot of alcohol, parties , late nights. Anil's publisher , Roopesh Kumar keeps eyeing nubile and pretty Radha . Despite her warnings, he keeps barging in her rooms in the absence of Anil who is not aware of his intentions . Some scenes are deemd erotic as per those days' standards .In the end, Radha ends up sleeping with Roopesh in advertently, innocently . During the ensuring fight between them , a bullet kills Roopesh. This makes Anil realise his mistake of getting addcited to fast life and easy money. Its proved that his freind Shatrughan killed Roopesh in the last moment when he arrived at his house un announced and sees this turmoil between Radha and the villian . The movie has a meaniful message at the end showing evils of easy money . Anil is homely and domestic in all scenes . Its impossible to hate him even in his negative role . Leela Mishra is Radha's endearing dai maa , her nurse who takes care of her in the absence of a mother. Over all , a movie with a good message .
