While reviewing today's movies we tend to put it under a microscope yet when it comes to yester year movies we don't maintain the same benchmarks. To keep it fair we should maintain the same standards only giving a little leeway when it comes to technology.
If this movie was released today it would be considered below average or a flop. Except for the songs everything from the acting, dialogue, story, direction and action sequences were a huge disappointment. The climax action scenes in Niagara falls were so hammy it was embarrassing. Sharmila Tagore was missing from most of them and use of a double was so obvious. Scenes of the boat supposed to be precariously perched on the edge of falls looked so fake. The director only took close up shots of the actors and no external shots of the supposed boat. It was like the director was running out of funds so he was running through the scenes without putting any thought to it. The acting for the most of it was pedestrian at best. I grew up hearing about how good this movie was, sadly it wasn't
