Criticism

" " Neel Kamal " still has the makings of a good movie, thanks to starring Raaj Kumar and Waheeda Rehman. Although the reputation of the Spirit does not have this magical quality as Madhumati, but still this supernatural love evaluates the movie on. Similarly, the songs and dances Waheedas. The rest is a bit formulaic, somewhat bulky and at times even a bit boring. "
