After his second directorial
venture and success of ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’, Dev Anand took the control of
whole production and filmmaking in his own hands and started writing, directing,
producing and acting altogether and ended up scoring zilch in all of the departments.
Perhaps he made this film partly to keep his discovered muse closer to him and
partly to project his self proclaimed Narcissist image on screen. With
absolutely pathetic script, loud overact, odd chemistry with his aged look, the
audience started rejecting their admirable star after this film. The film is
drab purposeless affair on screen and Dev indulged more in showing skin of Zeenie
baby. He’s playing international photo journalist who is interested taking
snaps of bikini babes, driving his ridiculous car painted with names of all
metro cities of the globe.
Unfortunately the film fell short
on many departments including the acting by the cast. Except Kishore-Lata’s
classic duet ‘Bahut Door Mujhe Chale Jaana Hai’ even R D Burman’s score for the film is too ordinary for banner
like Navketan. What a debacle and yet Dev made another bigger box office
disaster in company of his Zeenie baby titled ‘Ishq Ishq Ishq’. Both the movie
and Dev’s possessive infatuation with Zeenat turned flop soon after its
release. The rest is the fading glory of Dev and his once upon a time shining
banner that gave not only box office hits but memorable films to Hindi cinema.
