Usual 80's film...
namashi_12 December 2010
T Rama Rao's 'Majboor' is a routine 1980's Hindi film, that has many villains and heroes. It's been-there-done-that stuff, that hardly holds appeal.

'Majboor' is a yet another tale of, the good versus the evil. A battle that packs in violence, misunderstandings, complications, songs, comedy and some emotional melodrama.

As honest to the time of it's release, 'Majboor' succeeds by becoming a typical fare, that use to work back in the day. T Rama Rao's direction in neat, while the writing is mediocre. The soundtrack is fair.

Performance-Wise: Jeetendra is his usual self, while Sunny Deol does well. Jaya and Farah are passable. Ashok Kumar is wasted. Shakti Kapoor stands out. He plays the role of the mandatory villain with complete ease. Prem Chopra is alright. Kader Khan impresses, even though his track comes across as a yawn. Asrani is over-the-top.

On the whole, 'Majboor' can be viewed once, only if your looking for nothing but 80's entertainment.

Warning: Spoilers
Honest Retired Judge Justice Deenanath(Ashok Kumar)lives with a happy life with his wife (Seema deo)and 2 sons, Lawyer Ravi(Jeetendra)and Inspector Sunil(Sunny deol).They also have a little 7 year old girl whom they have adopted.

One day Ravi brings home a poor girl Sharda (Jayaprada)to rehabilitate as she has no place to live after her father's death. The family likes Sharda and subsequently all arrange Ravi and Sharda's wedding. But on the wedding day a prisoner Jankidas (Shakti Kapoor) suddenly arrives and claims Sharda as his wife. Every one is shocked including the Mayor (Prem Chopra), who was present. Sharda runs away from the wedding mandap and Deenanath dies of shock.

The family is further shattered when Ravi leaves home to live with Sharda. Jankidas again claims Sharda as his wife and this time during a conflict with Ravi one of his henchmen gets killed and Ravi is implicated. Sunil arrests his elder brother for the crime. How the misunderstanding is solved makes up the rest of the film.
