Trivia
When the Mirza brothers were writing the script of Dhanwan, they were writing it with only Rajesh Khanna in their mind as they thought and decided that only Kaka will suit the role and their condition was, if a filmaker wants the script, he must take Rajesh Khanna in the tittle role. Filmaker Sohanlal Kanwar was very interested to make film on that script, when he heard it and Kanwar, wanted his regular hero Manoj Kumar ( be-imaan, pehchan, sanyasi) to play the lead, but the Mirza brothers only wanted Rajesh Khanna. As Sohanlal Kanwar wanted the script. Sohanlal Kanwar had to accept their condition.

A classic characterization of negative character

The film contains very good story with classic performance of Rajesh Khanna in a negative role (till interval) and then as a changed person with positive thinking. Rajesh Khanna played both the contradictory shades of the character in this film as a superb performer with brilliant depth touches of inner feelings of human being and it is beyond doubt that no other Indian actor/star would have been able to do real justice with this character in his comparison. The proudy look, which he reflects through his facial expression is an outstanding example for Indian film world. At the same time his facial expression in the Hospital, where he was admitted during his blind-ness, occurred due to an accident, is simply brilliant, wherein he shows his helplessness due to non-availability of pair of eyes to be transplanted in him. This scene can not be expressed with words, it is only a depth feeling of any human being.
