Produced by Guru Dutt in the hopes of making a commercial comeback following the box office disaster of his now-classic PAPER FLOWERS, this megahit romance traces the love triangle that forms between two friends (Dutt and the mononymous Rehman) and a beautiful woman (Waheeda Rehman) in the city of Lucknow’s Muslim community. Noted composer Ravi contributed the memorable songs, which include the gorgeous title track.
