User Reviews

Crap

This was one of those films post Sanju's jail term which released

This film was amongst them that was in making for many years and got stuck when Sanju got arrested

FInally the film was released unfinished in 1996 and Sanju's voice was dubbed again by Chetan Shashital

The film is patchy and gives away in terms of continuity, plot, looks of actors.etc

Direction is bad Music is bad

Sanju looks straight out of 80's films in some scenes with short hair and then with long hair as the film was in making for many years and his voice was dubbed hence his performance doesn't work The rest too are ordinary
