Storyline

Thakur Shamsher Singh Rana has always blamed the suicide of his sister on Surajbhan Singh Kanwar, when the later married Karuna, leading to a bitter hatred between the two powerful families. Years later, Shamsher is married and has a daughter, Madhu, while Surajbhan has a son named Raja. When Shamsher's wife finds out that Madhu is in love with Raja, she attempts to bring the two families together, much to the chagrin of Shamsher. But when Surajbhan himself approaches Shamsher and extends a hand in friendship, Shamsher accepts - on the condition that Surajbhan give his word that Raja will only marry Madhu, to which Surajbhan agrees. On the day of the engagement, the two families are shocked when Raja announces that he will not marry Madhu but a lowly villager's daughter, Palavi, leading to history repeating itself when Madhu attempts to kill herself and the escalation of hostility between these families - a hostility that may end up killing each and every one of them.

One of Ajay's earlier films

Ajay just fresh after PHOOL AUR KAANTE(1991) and JIGAR(92) successes got to face many failures from 1993 till DILWALE(1994) which was a hit

In 1993 he had many flops like PLATFORM, DIVYASHAKTI

SANGRAM is one of those films

Though not a complete bad film, it's an average film

The film is a story of enimity between 2 fathers Danny and Amrish Puri somewhat similar to QSQT but here the main story is also the love triangle between Karisma, Ajay and Ayesha Jhulka in that way the story is different from QSQT The film belongs to the 90's and we have the standard fights, comedy, college scenes and songs But the rivalry is well handled and the film though clichéd and formulaic is well handled in parts though it could be better

Direction by Lawrence D'souza is average Music is okay

Amongst actors Ajay Devgan looked dull those days presence wise but his acting is good Karisma annoys with her childish act in funny scenes and is okay Ayesha Jhukla is average Amrish Puri and Danny excel in their parts Reema Lagoo is decent rest are adequate
