Wonderful Movie

I have seen this Movie, The song TAMA TAMA LOGE TAMA was the 1st kind of digitally composed on electronic equipment instead of manually, It is the 2nd movie Jeetendra & Sanjay Dutt came together after Zahreley, Jeetendra is a Police Officer Avinash while Sanjay Dutt plays a thief role It is the similar story Dharmendra starer Pritigiya. Jeetendra in a central role & heading the entire cast & Sanjay Dutt share more screen role, Kiran Kumar as Vallian perfectly he has done his role, Madhuri Dixit also done justification to her role, Jaya Prada done her best, Sanjay Dutt excel in job & shown his acting skills & above all Jeetendra done his job very perfectly % proved that he is the all rounder even though his appearance is less than Sanjay Dutt, But in the climax he was there kills Vallian Kiran Kumar means he is the main central character. Movie is worth watching for Jeetendra performance as well as Sanjay Dutt & songs were also good
