Hero Vinay (Anand), son of the police commissioner (Hussain), finds himself repeatedly mistaken for notorious jewel theif Amar. He is accused by Shalini (Vyjayanthimala) of being the man who had promised to marry her, and the accusation is substanitated by her brother (Ashok Kumar). Vinay masquerades as Amar to try to crack the gan, 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. Vijay Anands direction, demonstrating a greater control over colour than, e.g., Guide (1965), goes well with the taut despite a meandering plot. Song hits include Yeh dil hota bechara (sung by Kishore Kumar), Rulake gaya sapna mera and Hoton pe aisi baat main dabake chali aayi (both by Lata Mangeshkar).
