Nice film, 14 May 2009
6/10
Author: silvan-desouza from India

N Chandra used to make great films in the past, this film is his most memorable film ever and also was a big hit

The film also is remembered as Anil's one of best performances and also made Madhuri a sensation

The film may sound ordinary today but was different those days the film does have lot of clichés and the initial college scenes and the entire jumping form top scene of Anil is too amateurish but it's okay for it's time

The film successfully portrays a violent love story which falls due to circumstances

The scenes between Anil and Madhuri are pure magic while the transformation of Anil should be seen to be believed The pace is hampered at times and also there are too many stupid scenes in the middle plus the ingredients of commercial film yet the film stands out

N Chandra does a great job Music was a big hit

Anil Kapoor stands out, his walk, talk all make you feel he is a real tapori which he had played before in MASHAAL but here his role became most memorable He kept playing goon roles later in THIKANA and other films Madhuri Dixit was good in her part Anupam excels and evokes more hatred then Kiran Kumar Kiran Kumar irritates as the villain Annu Kapoor is good
