Satyamev Jayate

Satyamev Jayate review :

Directed by Raj (Daddu) Sippy who had worked with Vinod Khanna earlier in Inkaar (1987), Satyamev Jayate revolved around a dejected alcoholic cop who wants to forget his past love (Anita Raj) and regularly hires a kind hearted hooker (Meenakshi Seshadri) to give him company. He is also battling a professional setback involving a custody murder of a youngster (Master Alankar) whose embittered sister (Madhavi) vows revenge. Vinod was super impressive as the honest cop against the corrupt system. Meenakshi raised a few eyebrows for going against her goody goody image and playing a prostitute. The pretty Madhavi was equally effective in the strong role of a sisters quest for her missing brother. Shakti Kapoor was the main villain called Chaman Bagga. Bappi Lahiri's "Dil mein ho tum" is an evergreen number. Satyamev Jayate gave a big boost to Khanna's second innings in Bollywood as it was not only a resounding hit at the box office but also impressed the critics as much.
