Trivia
The film was planned in 1966 but was finally launched in 1967. A day before the mahurat, Jeetendra backed out. Jeetendra could not handle Raaj Kumar's behavior during the making of Mere Huzoor. Aravind Sen had seen Rajesh Khanna in Raaz and felt he was very talented. He decided to sign him and give him a chance. When Rajesh Khanna became a super star in 1969, Khanna got busy with other films and delayed giving dates to Maryada.

Maryada(1971)

During the seventies there were several films like this one with no head or tail.An actor of Raaj Kumar's calibre is wasted here and Mala Sinha's pairing with Khanna is embarrassing.The story is rubbish.Could have been better with a little more imagination.The script is not too bad and the outdoor scenery is superb.Raaj Kumar and Pran are miscasted as well as Mala Sinha though their acting is good.The film begins to flounder with the entry of Khanna.His looks make him more the younger brother of Ms.Sinha and Raaj Kumar.As for the music one or two tunes are above average.With his distinctive style of acting Kumar could have made more impact had the story been realistic.He looks stupid in the village costumes.Pran excels as always.One of the worst Raaj Kumar films i have ever seen.
