This was the second film by Manoj Kumar where he stars as a Bharat ( First being Upkar) and his 3rd film on patriotism. ( Shaheed being his first, to be followed later by Roti Kapda Aur Makaan and Kranti). In this movie a part of a family settles abroad in the UK and gets westernised. Manoj Kumar helps them realise that one should not forget one's roots or look down on one's culture.

One of the best patriot songs is from this film Sung by Mahender kapoor


jab zero diyaa mere bharat ne
bharat ne mere bharat ne
duniya ko tab ginatii AI
taaron kii bhaashhaa bhaarat ne
duniya ko pahale sikhalaayii

detaa na dashamalav bharat to
yuun chaand pe jaanaa mushkil tha
dharatii aur chaand kii duurii ka
andaaza laganaa mushkil tha

sabhyataa jahaan pahale aai
pahale janamii hai jahaan pe kalaa
apana bharat jo bharat hai
jisake pichhe sansaar chala
sansaar chala aur aage badhaa
jyuun aage badhaa, badhata hii gayaa
bhagavan kare ye aur badhe
badhataa hii rahe aur phule-phale
