User Reviews

Disaster

Anil Kapoor spend a lot of money on this disaster, which was the most expensive film of it's times

The film featured Anil and Jackie again after hits like RAM LAKHAN(1989) and many more great films

Surprising this time and again in TRIMURTI(1995) their pairing gave disasters

If you see the film has everything to be a hit, It has Anil-Jackie and Sridevi together, then it had several high prodn values But ?

The story a long lost brothers theme already which was done to death by then In fact the storytelling too somehow falters, there are too many gimmicks and Anil and Sridevi dressed up in different disguises

The direction by Satish Kaushik leaves a lot to be desired Music is okay

Anil does his Tapori goodhearted thief again and does well Sridevi too does her done before act well Jackie repeats his good cop brother role Anupam Kher does well in the negative role and is okay in the other role which is ended at the start Amongst rest Johny Lever gets boring
