Hero Vinay (Dev Anand), son of the police commissioner (Hussain), finds
himself repeatedly mistaken for notorious jewel thief Amar. He is accused by
Shalini (Vyjayanthimala) of being the man who had promised to marry her, and the
accusation is substantiated by her brother (Ashok Kumar). Vinay masquerades as
Amar to try to crack the gang, even as it appears that Amar too masquerades as
Vinay, leaving the audience guessing for most of the film on the identity of the
hero, eventually Amar turns out not to be her brother at all. This cult movie,
using concealed bars, moving walls and hidden safes, snowlifts and aeroplanes,
determined the look and the fashions of much of late 60s Hindi cinema. |
