    Action filled entertainer
    This film is from F.C Mehra, one of the fairly good directors in his time. It is a multi-starrer with Kaka in the lead. The 1st half belongs to Kaka totally. He plays an honest police officer who loses his legs just before the interval. He then has to seek the help of Mithun & the 3 heroines - Parveen, Zeenat & Shabana.

    Mithun is his usual self. Amrish Puri is menacing & Zeenat & Parveen look gorgeous even while performing action. Shabana is a misfit here. The film celebrated silver jubilee in many centers.

    Though it is close to 3 hours, it keeps your entertained, though the music by RDB could have been much better, considering his association with Kaka.

    The film kept Kaka fans happy since it added to his list of hits.
