like many bollywood films of the late 60s, this is a complete ripoff of western films, specifically james bond films. they imitate EVERYTHING, including the foreign locales, the gadgets and the spy who is capable of doing absolutely anything at any time.... of course mixed in are silly bollywood jokes, unnecessary characters and an insanely boring plot... there are a few well choreographed dance scenes, but nothing special... i can't understand how films like this were made and what point they were trying to make. all the films they were copying were playing in India at the time and most people knew of them. so what's the point in copying? if you've never seen a james bond film, perhaps this would be entertaining, but even then, why not just watch james bond and not dharmendra pretend he's james bond...? i have no idea why so many people recommend garbage like this....
