This movie had an ageing ( read already aged) Dev Anand paired against the rising star Hema Malini. The movie turned out to be a hit. The story line was quite engrosing and the movie was shot in exotic places like Nepal and elsewhere.

Hema Malini tended to figure in rather “Bhartiya Naari” kind of songs, but there were occasions when she was seen singing in front of lowly creatures aka “kuttons and kameenos” much to the chagrin of Dharam ji.

In 1970s, Rajesh Khanna was the reigning male superstar whereas Hema Malini was the dream girl. But the two hardly paired with each other. Rajesh Khanna was mainly paired with Mumtaz and Sharmila Tagore, whereas the pairing of Dharmendra and Hema Malini was taken for granted those days.
