Review of Tarkeeb

Tarkeeb (1984)
5/10
A trucking Bollywood yarn
27 December 2021
Nagpal, a smuggler (Madan Puri), takes advantage of innocent truckers by involving them in crimes. Dinesh (Mithun) puts an end to this and forms a union for the truckers' benefits. Dinesh is framed for a crime and jailed. How does he prove himself innocent? You have to watch to find out...

Average direction and screenplay is bolstered by good performances all around, some good action and an interesting subject of truckers and the smuggler using them. Haven't seen a story about truckers in a Hindi film, and it's a not a bad film - it has a modicum of action and humour. Overall, a nice time pass, even though Madan Puri having a pet Cobra is a bit farfetched as in real life he would've been dead long time, but it's just there as symbolism. I. E. Madan puri is a snake, too!!! Sharat Saxena is hilarious as his son who speaks English-Hindi, and is always berated by his dad for calling him boss at home instead at the smuggler's HQ and calling dad him at the HQ!!
