An interesting adaptation of a Western film in urban settings reflecting the westernized culture that came in so predominantly in the 1970's in India.The shift in scenes are well executed like when Feroz khan (Rajesh)is talking to the other convict Shakti Kapoor doing jail labour and the scene just shifts to Vinod Khanna (Amar)running towards a tree gazing Zeenat Aman(Sheela) and is child smoking.
Vinod Khanna is at his brilliant best and his machismo blends superbly into the film.I have never seen a hero look as dashing on the Indian Film screen as Vinod Khanna in this film when he runs bare-chested towards a tree gazing at his baby daughter and Zeenat Aman who is playing with her.His friendship with Feroz Khan and the love triangle brings the film to a thrilling climax when finally he sacrifices his life to save his friend.It is a touching ending where the spirit of self-sacrifice is superbly depicted with the title-song. Amjad khan plays the wise-cracking role to perfection,Zeenat exhibits sex appeal perhaps unsurpassed on the Indian Screen and Feroz Khan is dashing particularly when he enters the discotheque during the no'Aap Jaise Koi Nahi Zindagi me aye to Baat Banjaye.'The songs in this film are great and in the modern era I have never heard such a great collection of songs in a HindiMovie.THe no.'Kya Dekhte Ho'is a lyric'that i love more than any other Hindi song i have ever heard,almost a part of my life. Not in a classic category ,but one of the most memorable films which reflect the aggressive and materialistic nature of people in the modern times in contrast to idealism.
