Good start, but then it gets ruined
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
The first James Bond movie came in 1962 and with "Dr. No" and "Goldfinger" Hindi Movies too saw this new genre filled with action, adventure, suspense , and thrills. Well, such films won't linger much in your mind except you would get glued till the film lasts. Same applies with this film in which Dharmendra plays a scientist who gets double crossed by his dangerous look alike who tends to blow his laboratory. Though the film is indeed a copy of 60s James Bond movie, the film is quite entertaining as the film doesn't get Indianised much and stays with its theme. The protagonists and villains don't leave that impact through their acting, but they are still OK. But a special mention should go to David as a CBI officer. Overall, it's fairly welcome film; which though not a classic and won't remain much with you, still entertains as long as it lasts.Rating: 1 star out of 4
Good film starring Dharmendra as the scientist on a secret mission, and lots of international twists and turns which are rare for films of 1969... The action and suspense keeps heightening , the hallmarks of Brij the director who went onto make thrillers like Victoria 203 etc later on.. Sharmila Tagore wears trendy dresses and makes a good heroine.. Murders, kidnaps and impostors and a satisfying climax .. There are some hummable numbers from Mohd Rafi and Lata and shot in exotic locations..You get to see Mozambique , in 1970s and a nice cabaret number by the ever so dependable Helen and some bely dancer to boot! what more do you need on a lazy evening?
