Sinekatalog’s take
Chetan Anand's film retells the Punjabi love legend entirely in verse, with Raaj Kumar and Priya Rajvansh. Stylised and lyrical, with Kaifi Azmi's poetry and Madan Mohan's songs, it is a distinctive, theatrical and beautiful experiment.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
