The music, composed by Shakar-Jaikishen, is simply outstanding. As said, the film is beautifully shot and excellently directed by Ramanand Sagar. Other than that, the film has much more to offer. She is beautiful, moving and totally convincing. You really feel for him as you witness his tragedy, his silence, his decisiveness and his anguish. This is Kumar's film, though, and the actor performs very well in this complex central character. The film stars Rajendra Kumar and Sadhana as Gopal and Usha. The story is effectively told and developed and the film grows on you with its unexpected proceedings and turns. The romantic sequences in the first portions of the film are beautifully shot across the breathtaking locations of Kashmir with some superb and peaceful songs. Yet, the film never loses its beauty and its optimism. Arzoo starts as a romance and later turns into an intensely dramatic tale of sacrifice and pain. While Usha is suffering from his sudden disappearance, her father tries to help her find him, but at the same time tries to pair her with his friend's son Ramesh, who happens to be Gopal's best friend. The film tells the love story of Gopal and Usha, from their first meeting in Kashmir through their subsequent relationship, and finally, to their unofficial separation when Gopal gets involved in a car accident, loses his foot, and firmly decides to not meet her again, thinking he does not deserve to be with her anymore. We don't see much of that nowadays in cinema. This film shows how beautiful those times were and how strong and real love and friendship could be at that point of time. Arzoo is a poignant classic from the 1960s.
