Brilliant movie with strong storyline. Direction is fabulous. Performances are great especially Sunny Deol proves again why he is known as Action King. Also the background score especially during the fight sequences is very good. Performance-wise: Sunny Deol and Amrish Puri stand out.. Now a days this type of actions movies are not made any more because everybody is interested in South movie remakes with childish story and outlandish action scenes with one or two item songs. Believe me its a great cinema which should not be given a miss. If you are a Sunny Deol fan , don't dare to give it a miss but if you are not,then you will be definitely become his fan.
This movie gave Sunny Deol his first award, until then he was a struggling actor. I watched this movie when I was very young. It impressed me then it still impresses me to this day. Out of all the performances it was Sunny Deol's performance as the angry young man that stood out. Amrish Puri went through the motions, Raj Babbar was good and Meenakshi provided good support.Sunny Deol career has gone downhill since his Ghayal days. The last impressive film he made was Border over a decade ago. These days he restricts himself to patriotic films which get him nowhere. This movie was directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, who went on to make great films like Damini and the highly underrated China- Gate. Coincidentally Raj Kanwar's name is mentioned as a assistant director, he went on to make Dewaana, Laadla, Judaai, Daag and many more. This was Sunny Deol in his finest hour.
This movie shows one of the best performances Sunny Deol has ever given.He plays a young boxer who is caught in a web of betrayal , deceit, drugs and street fighting.He is accused of killing his brother and then vows revenge on the people responsible for his brother's death. The film has many notable starts such as Om puri,Amrish Puri,Meenakshi sheshadri & Raj babber. The action sequences are one of the best seen in any Indian film in the 90's.
If you have not seen this movie and are ready to take my words, see it. One of the good Hindi action movies. I just wish that Amrish Puri was given more footage in the movie and a stronger role of-course. Strong performance by Sunny Deol. May be not as good as his performance in Arjun or Damini, but he can not give his best in all of his movies, can he? His performance is definitely impressive and hence the movie is worth watching. Sunny Deol is so perfect for such hair-raising roles. My own blood starts boiling when I see his action movies.......smile.......
