A major musical hit, the film looks at the conflict between traditional and modern values and ends with the heroine, who lives a modern lifestyle, being jailed for murder. This design focuses on the three major stars, Dilip Kumar, Nargis and Raj Kapoor, and the placing of the faces in profile overlapping each other gives a particularly striking effect. The distinction between the two male characters is depicted through their clothes with the playboy shown wearing a bow tie.
