Himmatwala is an action comedy film directed by K. Raghavendra Rao and stars an ensemble cast of Jeetendra, Late Sridevi, Late Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Waheeda Rahman, Asrani, Arun Govil, Shoma Anand, Swaroop Sampat, Late Satyendra Kapoor and Late Amjad Khan.
An engineer returns to his village after a long gap and promises to restore his father's lost reputation. Meanwhile, the egoistic and spoilt daughter of his enemy, falls in love with him changes into a good soul and helps him trick her father.
The film which is more famous for the iconic Jeetandra's step in the songs such as "Nainon Mein" and "Taki O Taki" has a decent mixture of comedy and action and have to admit that both Amjad Khan and Kader Khan were hilariously funny considering the fact that they were portraying negative roles.
The plot of the film is simple revenge drama but has a good mixture of comedy which will keep you engaged throughout, most of the songs of the film are good but the subplots of the film disturbs the pace.
Acting in the film is good and the film will always be remembered for the superb comedy by the great Kader and Amjad Khan. Jeetendra and Sridevi were also good and impressive and is beautifully supported by the rest of the cast.
Songs as mentioned in the film is good and screenplay could've been made little trimmed and the film could've been little shorter. The climax of the film is predictable.
Can be watched once for some of the great comedy and some catchy dance numbers.
