The finale is predictable but as the measured script speeds to the tremendous climax, you are left awe-struck, the director has golden words and great actors and he uses his camera and sound in the most creative manner.
     The movie was released just before Ryan Oneal-Ali Mcgraw LOVESTORY, on a similar theme, though the scripts are miles apart, but this is a superior product and it always will be, Rajesh played a dying man again in SAFAR, but it is nowhere near this in brilliance or passion, though it is a good product.
     This is a devotional hymn by the maker and the team to the human soul and its strength and faith and a signature classic in the annals of Indian and world cinema.
     Only for the brave and the noble but with a punch line for the non-believers too, if you dare, tread this path and rejoice in its ecstasy, which will bring tears of happiness and grief alike to your eyes.

great companion piece to this as ARJUN PANDIT with Sanjeev Kumar, but Anand is simply incomparable, though if you analyse the trio of SATYAKAM, ARJUN PANDIT and Anand, they come out as an analogy about mortality and as such they form a trilogy, one of the best in cinema.
      It is surprising how cruel destiny can be, as the role of Anand was turned down by Shashi Kapoor, who was to regret it forever in eternity, but as Anand emphasises, we live once and live your life to your greatest satisfaction and in a splendour of courage that can inspire the rest of humanity, with every moment being a gift from the almighty and utilized for the best you can do, indeed or in thought, as that is what will be immortalised as your body dissolves to dust. This idea is quite generic in concept but the execution here is just so subtle and sensitive, it assumes a new meaning and intelligence, which will pervade the most cynical souls.
Hrishikesh had made ANARI and SATYAKAM before, which are worthy rivals to this and was to make another
