Drama At Its Peak With High Repeat Value - One Of The All-Time Best From Mainstream Bollywood
Don't look for plot holes and goofs here, you are to find aplenty in commercial Bollywood movies those days, but if you love Hindi cinema of the 70s, this one is unmissable. It firmly established Big B in his angry young man image and this unforgettable script by Salim-Javed and wonderful direction by Yash Chopra packed a real punch. Even today when I switch channels at home and find this in any, I can't but help watching a scene or two. Every scene, every dialogue, each moment of this cult classic has a high repeat value just like the Sholay released the same very year. 1975 was a landmark year in Hindi film industry as it delivered so many mega hits in one single year. This film is reflective of its times and the tumultuous socio-economic scenario of the 70s and catapulted each one involved with this project to greater heights. 8/10
