This is an early film in the career of the multitalented Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan. Bachchan plays Subeer, a pop singer who dominates India's music scene. He meets Uma (Jaya Bhaduri), a country girl with a beautiful singing voice. Subeer brings Uma back to the city and makes her a star. However, tensions grow as Uma's career begins to overshadow that of Subeer. The film supplies plenty of the melodrama and music that are popular with Indian audiences. ~ Jonathan E.

The differences between wealth and crushing poverty are illustrated in this uneven melodrama that suffers from technical problems and unconvincing thesping. An impoverished young peasant who is forced to sleep in the gutter meets a young woman. The two are married, and the majority of the film deals with their difficulties in struggling to survive the crushing poverty. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
