Barely into a few minutes in the movie, I was in for a surprise Never expecting that it would be a psychological suspense thriller starring Kishore Kumar and then realizing that it's copy of Afred Hitchcock's Spellbound that I saw a few days back. 

The music score by Chitragupta was good and contained some very interesting songs; which are above mediocre, but not among the best: Pyar Karo Gup Chup Dunia Se Chhup Chhup; Manjil Kahan Meri Gulshan Kahan Mera; Mai Knuan Hoon Khoya Hai Kahan Jahan Mera/ Dekho Na Dekho Hame Maare Gurur Ke Dil Bhi Huzur Ka Hai Hum Bhi Huzur Ke; Chori Chori Na Ana Khidki Tale Tum Dekho Zamana Achchha Nahi; do do do do do do (starts like Singing in rain but an entirely different tune later)-- Nachti Jhoomti Muskurati Aa Gayi Pyar Ki Raat.

Overall, it was a good watch for Film Noir and Kishore Kumar fans like me.
