Warrant

During a jail riot instigated by jailed convict Jaggu (Joginder), the Jailer, Arun Mehra's (Dev Anand) life is threatened, and another convict Dinesh (Satish Kaul), risks his life to save Arun. Arun and his mom, Mrs. Mehra (Sulochana) find out that Dinesh is on death-row for killing noted Professor Ashok Verma. Arun does not believe that Dinesh is guilty, and so he arranges his escape and as a result he has not only the police, including his very own dad, Inspector General of Police Mehra (Pran) after him on a manhunt, but also underworld don Master (Ajit Khan) and his men; and a cold-hearted female assassin (Zeenat Aman) who has reserved just two bullets in her gun for Arun and Dinesh.

A fun Dev Anand actioner that has enough cloak and dagger thrills to keep one watching. There's an obvious Bond influence right down to the secret lair, matter of the fact the volcano lair is taken from You only live twice and Dev Anand is wearing the same grey suit Bond was wearing, but despite these imitation the film has enough intrigue, a broiling plot and some good action - plus points are the chemistry between Anand and Zeenat Aman. Master villain Ajit, clad in white and smoking a white cigar, is his usual sinister self who is after a formula.
