User Reviews

one of Dutt's earliest films

This film was actually right after lots of flop films like Bekaraar, Johnny I love you and Mera Faisla. This film marks the return of Dutt after taking a short break from films. Though, this film wasn't anything great it was his first semi hit. Before this Sanjay Dutt only had films like Rocky and Vidhaata which worked. Whilst all his other releases tanked at the box office.

The film is about a girl who is saved by a young man when she almost gets molested and murdered. However, the same group of bandits kill the person after a few peaceful months of that person and the girl's marriage. The girl swears she will take revenge and years later her son(Sanjay Dutt in a double role) grows up and takes revenge. This Dutt is more deadly and smarter than the father Dutt. This is the basic plot and from the story you realise that its nothing but a typical 70s film. However, a film like this is okay for a 1980s release as it might still work. 1990s and later would be the worst time period as by now these kind of movies don't fit as the typical entertainer.

On the Whole, the film is a pile of garbage but it works mainly as Sanjay Dutt film. When he was young he was more energetic and most of his films from the 80s saw a young and enthusastic Dutt perform on the bigscreen. This was a delight to see and Anita Raaj is good as the heroine. Their chemistry is decent but the pairing of Annuradha Patel and the other Dutt(father) is bad as the chemistry is missing.
