Raj Kapoor was good in some scenes. I thought his romance with Asha will bring him back to his spicy avatar.

I just had a re-look at her post on the film, and she ends with a "you've been WARNED! Watch at your own peril." Now I'm certainly never going to watch this one. As it is, I find Raj Kapoor rather iffy.<br /><br />BTW,the screenshot with Radhakrishan and Lalita PawarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
