User Reviews

a great James bond thriller !!!

in this great movie, jeetendra gave a good follow-up on the success of farz. this film consolidates jeetu's acting prowess to match Hollywood thrillers of that time.

jeetu, hema & amitabh displayed their acting capabilities & excelled. talking about the timing, the film was well directed; the suspense was great and all the action scenes were very thrilling. i recall the scene where jeetu's jeep was prompted by the bad guys to enter the truck on motion. that was a landmark direction by the director & very good action displayed by jeetu.

prem chopra, as a villain was undoubtedly remarkable. it is indeed a fascinating film & a must watch for lovers of James bond thrillers.

considering this film & its success, another film starring jeetu & amitabh should have been made to give Indian audience all over the world another thrilling time.
