Review in Metro Plus by Deepak Mahaan The Hindu 19th Nov 2010 59 Two Rare Showcards from Phool Aur Patthar.1966 - the film that launched Dharmendra upon stardom Ralhan Productions / O. P.

P Ralhan, who was one of the pioneers in establishing the genre of sleek crime thrillers, where the hero brushes on the wrong side of the law, got his biggest hit and it established Dharmendra as a star.
