User Reviews

Nice

Amitabh was known for action films but he did many romantic films too like this film

The film is like a modern day DEVDAS of it's time

The characters are well handled especially Bachchan's character

The plot has commercial ingredients like goons.etc but the story comes out very well The love triangle is well handled and though things are larger then life they work well

Prakash Mehra was a genius and knew how to use Bachchan and make good films Music was a winner, Dil to Hai Dil, the title and Salaam e Ishq are wonderful

Amitabh excelled in his role which came very natural to him Vinod Khanna plays a nice supporting actor and though overdid a few comic scenes yet he was superb in emotional scenes Rakhee is a bit theatrical Rekha is alright Amjad Khan plays to the masses
