Shakti Kapoor delivers a great performance
coltras3521 December 2021
Vijay (Shatrughan Sinha) is a public prosecutor with a high success rate. He is popular and well known in court due to his efficiency. The story starts with a murder case where the accused, Abbas, is tried and found guilty. Swapna, Vijay's girlfriend (Hema Malini), suddenly discovers new evidence that Abbas may not be the real culprit then Vijay starts a secret investigation while defending Abbas in his trial. Before the trial's completion the police arrest Vijay for another murder.

The subject of lawyers just having the accused hung with a robotic abandonment, the poor getting a lousy trial and the rich getting away with it is covered well in efficient legal thriller that has some action, but it mainly has a lot of talking.

The performances are top notch- Hema Malini, Shatrughan Sinha, Ajit, Amrish puri, but it's Shakti Kapoor, in a rear positive role, who steals the scene.

Overall a watchable film, though there should've been more of an emphasis on investigation and generally needed a more tighter plot.
