Storyline

Vinod Verma is an employee of the Indian Railways, who always had a dream of making the perfect and fastest train in India. After years of dedication the Railway Board approves his prototype of the Super Express. But these years had had their toll on his personal life, as his wife, Sheetal and son, are more like strangers to him. He hopes to make it up to them after the train makes it inaugural run from Delhi to Bombay in a record 14 hours. Showing him support are his friends, Ashok and Rakesh. But an embittered fellow-employee named Randhir, the son of the Chair of the Railway Board, has other plans for Vinod and the Super Express - plans that may derail Vinod's delicate personal balance, and make the Super Express' inaugural journey also the final one.

Edited version
19 September 2008 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

I have attempting to get hold of this film for a very long time and when i finally got it wow. However several bits did not make sense. The previous reviews says it is 142 minutes long, and i know for a fact that at least one of the five songs was missing - 'Teri hai zameen, tera aasman'. Having done a further search, the film is actually 185 minutes long. Although the film was great, the reason it did not make sense was because i'd seen the edited version, where they had taken out all the important bits.

The songs are absolutely great, the relationship between Vinod Khanna and Praveen Babi, and Dhamendra with Hema Malini was great, especially where they got together.

Still attempting to get hold of a proper copy so if anyone knows where then please let me know.
