In my experience if the perforations and gears are ok there won't be a problem.

In shooting 6 36exp. rolls of film 3 of them didn't wind. The film was placed in perfectly the film advance felt normal but the film just didn't move (and the rewind crank doesn't move). After I open the back glare at it's innards and close it (without touching the film) it will wind perfectly. I haven't heard of this happening before. My film advance feels and sounds normal and the film leader isn't slipping out of its tongs but it just doesn't wind around the spool.
