The actor who plays 'Husna's brother', the actress who plays the role of 'Najma', and most of the other cast members all do very well. Sadhana, in particular, is enchanting and charming as Husna. The music in the film is lovely, and the lead actors, Rajendra Kumar and Sadhana, pull off very sincere and touching performances. But once I got over (or at least, tried to live with) my fear of pale male faces, and the story in the movie really kicked off,I was pleasantly absorbed. The make-up they used in those days must have been some kind of white chalk-based powder! Not a good look. I was also a bit spooked by the paleness of the male actors' faces (I know it sounds weird, and maybe it's just me, but there you go). This movie, about young love and the consequences of societal disapproval, started out a bit slow for me, and I almost started to regret buying the DVD.
