His last film as director.

Sinekatalog’s take

Mehboob Khan's last film as director, a melodrama about family, love and a missing son. Sentimental and mounted on a large scale, it is a weaker finale to a career that included Mother India.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
