Audience Member Classic cinema from the 70's - awesome family entertainment ...! Why cant anyone make movies like this one .... ? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my FAVs, All Time :) In modern times One Govinda-Karsihma starrer (Can't even remember it's name... One song was "Tere baap ke Darr Se") and One Sanjay Dutt-Urmila Matondkar (Khubsoorat) were versions of this classic Rajesh Khanna-Jaya Bhaduri aka Bachchan, H.N. Chattopadhyaya, Asrani entertainer. Still I see it occaisionally.
