I found this movie very enjoyable the story is brilliant, acting is excellent, the qawali at the end is very good If this movie had bigger stars it wouldn't have worked in this environment, everything works well.

Far, far away from being a 'gem'.

A series of films produced under the YRF banner, including "Sawaal', "Faasle", "Noorie" and "Mashaal" were all huge flops, just like "Nakhuda". The plot was conceived to aim to be an offbeat movie. However, the actors do not help this to happen. Nor does the shoddy direction by the débutant Dilip Naik. The cast consists of Raj Kiran, Swaroop Sampat and Kulbushan Kharbanda. As much as Kulbushan's performance shines throughout the movie, the job by the rest of the cast emits the same dullness. The soundtrack album is strictly below average, "Tumhari Palkon Ki Chilmanon Mein" being the only memorable track. It was not a great idea to have an aging overweight Asha Sachdev to perform a delicate Mujra number called "Tujhe Maroongi Phoolon Ki Maar". It failed miserably.

All in all, it's best to keep this 'gem' remain unnoticed but might garner the interests of serious Yash Raj aficionados.

VERDICT :- avoid.

Khan Review

[zkzuber · 2/10 · 8 July 2021]

In 2021 I realize Nakhuda was Yash chopra production. The movie looks like a small budget below average typical bollywood wood movie, the entire movie can be presented in few sentences. The songs are very poor except one hit Tumhari palkon ki.... Bharat kapoor playing kulbhusan son seems odd, Shammi kapoor could have been good choice but it would not have made any difference with poor script. Another surprise was Swaroop sampat worked in chopra productions she was never able to make it I think in a year or so after this movie she played small character role of jeetensra's sister in himmat wala after which she dissapeared marrying Farty rawal. Well don't watch this, it's dissapointing.

Nakhuda Review!!

Nakhuda is a drama film directed by Dilip Naik. The film stars Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Raj Kiran, Swaroop Sampat, Bharat Kapoor and Late Madan Puri.

Ravi gets married to the daughter of wealthy Jagannath. Despite being successful, Ravi never stops respecting Sheikhu who helped him during his tough time, which makes Jagannath unhappy.

There was a time when Late Yash Chopra used to promote his assistants my producing film for them and letting them direct and this is one such film. The film has some good actors such as Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Madan Puri and Raj Kiran whereas newcomer like Swaroop Sampat also featured in the film.

The plot of the film is average and we have seen many films on the plot, the execution of the film is average and nowhere the film has the potential to keep you engaged however there are few scenes which were shot nicely and looked impressive.

Acting in the film is decent to average with Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Madan Puri and Raj Kiran were impressive whereas Swaroop Sampat looked nervous and somewhat looked misfit. Bharat Kapoor also looked misfit as the son of Kulbhushan Kharbanda. Javed Khan Amrohi was also the part of the film in an important role but he has done such roles many times and was average.

The music of the songs are forgettable and apart from Tumhari Palkon ki none of the song was worth remembering. Screenplay of the film is average and the climax shows that the director was keen to finish the film early and hurriedly.

Overall an average one time watch.
