Storyline

A mother gives birth to twins. Unfortunately, they are separated. One of the children ends up in neighbouring Pakistan and grows up a devout Muslim named Tauheed, while the other grows up as a Hindu named Ajay. With the on-going rivalry and hatred between the two countries, both find themselves on the opposite side, and must battle each other. The only way they can unite is by saving the life of the Pakistani Prime Minister, who himself has become the target of terrorists.

Crap

In 1999 Amitabh was trying hard to comeback after his post 1997 track record of bombings, though BMCM was a hit Govinda got more credit then Bachchan

Btw this film was supposed to be made by ABCL but then VEERU DEVGAN action director and father of Ajay thought to produce and direct it

The film is hideous

The film is the same India vs Pakistan angle and has some of the crudest forced special effects

Ajay even jumps high with a bike over a bus LOL

The special effects are tedious and look fake

The story is done to death, Amitabh with one hand and the long hideous wig gets boring, God knows why the directors those days were trying hard to make Bachchan look old in films when he was in his 50's can understand playing once age but it should be well done, here it looks crap

The special effects amongst both Devgans is too bad, the screen achieves a glow The climax of the film is nothing special as we know what is going to happen

Direction by Veeru Devgan is bad Music is okay JALWA number stands out

Special effects are bad

Amongst actors Ajay tries hard to act both the roles, this is his first dual role perhaps he is good as the Paki guy but thatz his trademark and in the other role he is okay Amitabh gets tiring here because his role lacks meat Amongst heroines Sushmita is okay, Manisha(who starred with Ajay in KACHCHE DAAGE too in the same yr) is okay Amongst rest Gulshan Grover does his routine
