| Story: |
|
Dev Anand is a peaceful, quiet man who is only interested in wildlife and nature. Then he is sent to the Indo-Chinese Border in the army by his father, a war hero. Here he refuses to lift his gun and attack. He is then court-martialled. Later he is captured by the Chinese and humiliated, but when a beautiful Chinese agent promises him a better future by working and spying for her (against India), he agrees but foils their wicked plans by spying over them. Later the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 breaks out. He joins in the action to show what he is made of by hunting down Pakistani paratroopers hiding in the bushes in an Indian village in the Punjab. The film was shot in Switzerland, and has Grimsel Hotel in one of the songs. While the film did not do very well at the box office some of its songs (e.g. Rangeela Re, Shokhiyon mein, and Dil ki Kalam se) have become evergreen hits. |
