Who said Action films died in the 90's?
22 December 1998 | by (Fresno, CA) – See all my reviews

Ghayal is one of the few good action films of the 90's but it is beyond good. Ghayal is one of the best action films ever. Raj Kumar Santoshi has made a hard hitting film. What is especially notable is Sunny Deol's Filmfare and National Award winning performance.
