I saw this movie first near about the time it came out. I must have been 12-13 (Max)
I think I had liked the movie then. But at that time I was also liking the likes of Ram-balram, Maqsad , ashanti and other trash churned out by mainstream Bolly. The filter for a Good film was Not there at all.
I watched the movie again lately and I am 51 years now- down the line ...and was completely charmed.
Ram-balram, Maqsad , ashanti have no stance for me today but this one remains just as Evergreen or even a tad more.
Age and wisdom have set in a bit and the point of view portrayed in the film is just appropriate.
Loved the dialogues/monologues between the protagonist and the Good Lord .... quite witty,sparkling and definitely chucklesome.
some equally adept actors and actresses with the protagonist standing out.
