I saw this movie quite a while ago. Perhaps an year after it was originally released. This movie was probably Sushmita Sen's debut movie after becoming Miss Universe. The sad part of this movie is that despite a convincing portrayal of a psychotic obsessed with the beauty queen by a very under rated Sharad Kapoor, one could not help compare him with the monster-like Shah Rukh in Darr(one of his best till date). This comparison does not seem fare considering Shah Rukh was a much seasoned performer than the newbie Sharad. Mukul Dev plays the cop who is responsible to protect Sen from Sharad. In a quick mix of Darr and Body Guard, Dastak lost it's original shine somewhere. What should please the viewer are the beautifully composed sound tracks. One of the best tracks is "Tumhe Kaise Mein Bataaoon" (How shall I tell you?) sung soulfully by Abhijeet. Portrays the battle of the love lost 'anti-hero' wonderfully. It remains one of my favorites till date.
I would give it a 5 out of 10 despite it's flaws for being one of Sharad's better performances in a time when the 'Anti Hero' tag belonged only to Shah Rukh.
