Diya Aur Toofan (1995) User Reviews

A good story but ridiculous acting and direction

[sidcool1234 · 2/10 · 8 September 2012]

I liked the concept of the movie when I read the synopsis. It was a kind of science fiction I would tolerate, even like. But knowing it's a Mithun starer I should have known better. It's a murder of logic and drama. Story goes like this, Mithun is a cop, an honest one, who is about to uncover a plot. He is killed by the goons. His distraught neurosurgeon friend takes his brain and preserves it. His would be bride dies of the trauma of his death and is in deep coma. The doctor gets a 'brilliant idea' (literally) and transplants Mithun's brain into hers. Then, the fun begins. Songs pop up anywhere. Kader Khan has acted well, but it comes to no avail in the light of Madhu and others. But it's a Mithun. Watch it if you enjoyed movies like Gunda. It's a laughter riot, though not intended to be one. Watch it for the sheer stupidity. All in all, a decent sci-fi concept, but not what you would expect if you are not aware of how Mithun movies work.
