      Sunny Deol got national award for his role though he appeared only in second half, his dialogs too became a rage.
    • Quotes

      Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): Rather than messing up with me inside the courtroom, it's better we settle matters outside it Govind. You know very well, Indrajit Chaddha can't be defeated.

      Govind: [Smiling sarcastically] Chaddha, have you ever seen kids extracting kites from electrical wires ?

      Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): [Confused] What ?

      Govind: There happen to be wires from whom even kids can extract their kites, no matter how entangled. Thats a different thing though. By taking up Damini's case, you've touched a wire which will unleash such an electrical buzzer upon you that you'll forget getting bumps once and for all.

      Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): [Irritated] The rope is burnt, but it seems some tensile strength remains. Gupta is willing to pay 400 thousand. For the reputation of a girl, this amount is fairly sufficient.

      Govind: [Sarcastically] You've made a lot of progress Chaddha, from brokering of justice you've come down to auctioning of honour ! This profession is called PIMPING !

      Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): [Furiously shouting] Govind...... ..

      Govind: [Replying even loudly] Don't dare scream. Or I'll wrap this case right here, right now. No hearing dates, no verdicts. Just plain justice

      [crushing his cigarette on Amrish Puri's face]

      Govind: that too is gonna be blistering.

      [Annoyed at Amrish Puri's henchman drawing a machete]

      Govind: Chaddha, explain to him that such toys can now be purchased at nearby shops. But you can't buy the guts required to operate them from any market on earth. MEN are born with it.

      [Threatening Amrish Puri with his fists]

      Govind: And when this two and a half kg hand lands on someone, he doesn't just wake up,

      [pointing up hinting death]

      Govind: he simply RISES UP !

      Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): [Humiliated] I'll answer of this in the court tomorrow.

      Govind: [Pointing his fingers on Amrish Puri] And remember, if you dare misbehave there, I'll beat the hell out of you. Judge will keep screaming for order and you'll keep getting punched.

      Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): Relax young man

      [slipping and held by Sunny Deol by the shoulder, before being threatened to leave]

      Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer): .

    Excellent!
    Damini gets a 10/10, mainly thanks to Sunny Deol in the 2nd half. He was brilliant as the drunk and clever lawyer. See how he tells of the main baddie, Amrish Puri. The confrontation scenes between them are definitely worth watching repeatedly. Sunny won National Award for this. The dialogues are so witty, and the manner in which Sunny says them is humorous. Even his outburst in court is excellent, especially "Tarikh Pe Tarikh." I also like the phrase, "Judge order order karta hain aur tu pidtha rahega!" that uses against Amrish Puri (corrupt lawyer). Their confrontation scenes are immensely watchable. Sunny overshadows everyone else with an awesome performance, as he is the saving grace because his introduction after intermission takes the movie to a new level. He even bashes the baddies at the very end. If you ever watch this movie, do it for Sunny Deol. Enjoy!
