Director asit sen deserves full marks for showcasing emotions with excellent masterpiece musical score from hemant da ,Also gulzar penned lyrics & dialogue creates instant magic .. Excellent performance by waheeda rehman ..

The movie based on human relation and a classic one , made during a time when such serious subjects were not a success . the film has a bengali cinema's touch because they appreciate such subjects .the star cast of the film is great and well acted especially wahheeda rehman , i can say her best performance . it is an emotional film what we feel and do how it affects our mind ,expressed beautifully . i still wonder if nurse radha really fell in love with arun .it does not have an adequate ending just like most of the indian movies .so have to guess what ? movie is interesting and very nice songs , excptional.

If ever there was an haunting voice that had depth, resonance, it was Hemant Kumar. The song "Tum Pukar Lo," played on Waheeda Rehman and Dharmendra (a brief stint) is reflective of the melody that was the mainstay of Indian music composers the likes of Hemant Kumar, who preferred to sing his own compositions. Then there is Waheeda Rehman-God bless this woman for her eternal beauty and acting talent. She was incredibly convincing as the "mental patient." The scene where her face comes down on a barbed wire mesh-incredible piece of acting. Then we had the thespian of acting in a true sense of the word-Rajesh Khanna. Khanna and Rehman, were born actors and the duo were probably the best screen pair next to Guru Dutt and Madhubala. The movie is a bygone classic that very few appreciate. When you need some nostalgia and good cinema, this movie and "Anand" will take you back to the decade of the Indian cinema to be cherished since there will never be another Khanna, Rehman or maestro like Hemant Kumar.

A very interesting idea. this film speaks of class. A story about a nurse in a mental institution whose revolutionary treatment's side effects get unnoticed. After falling in love with her first patitent and never telling anyone her love goes unnoticed as her patient moves on and another patient who after being betrayed by his first love is left on the brink of madness, is brought in. After failed attempts, her treatment is again called for but this time with disastrous consequences. A sad yet very moving drama.... a must see with a beautiful soundtrack.
