The film's simple charm makes it a blockbuster. Director Raj Kapoor harnesses the youthful energy of two teenagers to play the innocent couple and hits bull's eye. Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia instantly become the nation's heart-throbs.
Uncut
The scene in which the teenagers meet for the first time is culled from Raj Kapoor's first meeting with Nargis. He picks Dimple for the role because she resembles Nargis. The original story has a tragic end. Distributors throw a fit and RK gives in to a happily-ever-after sunset.
