      Storyline

      • Trivia
        After Laawaris (1981), Prakash Mehra decided he wanted to move on to something more intense for Amitabh Bachchan and wrote Zindagi Ek Juaa. The financiers and producers all rejected the script as the film was too bold and serious for that time. So Prakash later moved on to Namak Halaal (1982), as it was comedy and would work better for mainstream cinema.

      Underrated effort from Prakash Mehra
      When you think of Prakash Mehra, 3 movies might come off the top of your head, Muquaddar ka Sikandar, Laawaris and Namak Halal.

      Zindagi Ek Juaa gets forgotten when talking of his best works as it flopped at the box office but I feel it is very underrated.

      I have heard that apparently Mr Mehra had wanted to make this movie during the 80's but the plan failed through and instead he opted for Laawaris.

      The opening sequence when Anil Kapoor tells the story reminds me of Amitji's Shakti (in which Anil Kapoor had a small appearance before he became a star).

      Maybe it is just a coincidence and I am looking too much into it.

      Anil Kapoor shines as the ordinary man thrust into the underworld.

      Madhuri does well in a lengthy role.

      Anupam Kher is good whilst Amrish Puri is his usual tremendous self as the lead villains.

      Suresh Oberoi also does well in a supporting role as the decent policeman who tried to assist Anil Kapoor.

      The music by the late Bappi Lahiri is fantastic and I consider this to be one of his best works.

      The title song is excellent, Dil To Dil Hain by Asha Bhosle has a wonderful haunting feel to it, the song has remained in my mind ever since I saw the movie 30 years ago.

      Overall memorable work from a talented filmmaker.
