two legend ...

it's sad to see Saudagar being left behind in today's cinema. This is a movie which will be remembered for two most talented actors and one of the best directors of Indian Cinema ... For Indians like me, This will always be an awesome movie .. with incredible performances. Raj Kumar and deelep Kumar, who have always been known for their talent ,give outstanding performances. Anpuam Kher plays his character beautifully . Manisha in her first film was also good with Vivek. Subhash Ghai who has giving many brave and beautiful movies, once again proved to be a excellent directors as he was able to manage film actively. All Scenes between Deelep Kumar and Raj kumar are beautifully shown. They both in their characters are very convincing and powerful.
