Plot

Two friends with opposite personalities, the rich but sensitive Pran and the womanizing Gopal both have affairs with two mountain girls while holidaying in the valley of Kashmir. While Pran and Reshma's love is true and reciprocated, Gopal is a womanizing villain, who disregards the faithful Neela and condemns her to wait faithfully for his return with the barsaat (rainy season).

Sinekatalog’s take

Raj Kapoor's early romance follows a young man torn between love and a ruinous tryst, with Nargis and Nimmi. Melodramatic and lyrical, with a classic Shankar-Jaikishan score, it was a huge hit and established Kapoor's star persona.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
