Nishchaiy

Ravi Yadav (Vinod Khanna) works as a servant for a harsh man (played by Rajiv Verma) and his kind wife, Renuka (Moushumi Chatterjee), and takes care of his much younger brother, Rohan. Ravi is framed for crime and sentenced to twelve years in prison. Renuka promises she will take care of Rohan, and gives him to a friend (played by my favorite Mummy, Reema Lagoo) who adopts him, and renames him Vasu. When Ravi is released from prison, he seeks out Renuka, who has lost her memory and cannot tell him where Rohan/Vasu (Salman Khan) is now. In the meantime, Vasu grows up into a successful lawyer, falls in love with Payal (Karisma Kapoor), and dreams of being reunited with Ravi. Unfortunately, Vasu has made an important enemy, and his future happiness, if not his life, is at stake.

The best part of this melodrama is the light romance between Vasu and Payal. The main plot, which should be moving, is convoluted at times, and the acting not convincing. Even Karisma Kapoor does not display the enthusiasm and energy of her later movies. The songs are average, and the choreography unremarkable. Reema Lagoo's beauty and elegance shine through, but otherwise this is a mediocre movie that does well enough for a time-pass, but is not memorable in the long run.
