With the presence of actors like Naseer, Smita Patil, Omshiv Puri, and 1980s, looks like an art movie. It is a tale beautifully told by debut director Dutta. Dialogues are amazing. Combination of stalwarts like Laxmikant Pyarelal and Gulzar to make songs has made the songs immortal. Not just the songs, even the background music of Laxmikant Pyarelal is evidence enough why the duo is best after Shankar Jaikishan. Although all actors have given phenomenal performances but Dharmendra is at his best. The way he has delivered the OP Dutta dialogues puts him ahead of even Naseer. Mithun is a very good addition to the main story line. Most outstanding is Dharmendra. There is something in the movie for everybody...plut it is a clean movie that you can see with your whole extended family.
Any rating less than 10 will mean under assessment of Dharmendra, Smita Patil, Lata Mangeshkar, JP Dutta, Laxmikant Pyarelal, Gulzar and beautiful photography of massive Landscapes of Beautiful desert of Rajasthan.

This movie is grand, an epic, that attempted the social inequalities Indian class and caste system. Set apart from 80's mindless movies, it connects, bring forth emotions, loaded with a couple of timeless songs and a super delivery.
One of the finest Dharmendra movies from 80s, coupled with a inspiring music, that will keep you enchanted.

You never feel you are watching first film made by somebody ,where everything is just consummate.
Best part is visuals of the film , the place Fatehpur , the landscape which is huge covered awesomely by cinematographer .
The score of the film is haunting and energetic.
Screenplay is detailed as said in previous reviews.
Dharmendra is extra ordinary, his dialogues delivery so wonderful that the viewer feels the urge of listening to them again and again , apart from him Nasiruddin Shah is refreshing, Smita Patil had limited scope but she shined as always. Mithun Da ,Reena Roy and Kulbhushan Kharbanda also performed very well .
By reading previous reviews i doubt that many people misunderstood the SP-wife-rebel triangle in the film , the police officer does not follow the rebel out of jealousy that his wife loved him , he follows him as he believes in law , although he is clearly biased towards his own clan and its people as he does not know the wrong doings done by them , he does not have any ill thoughts towards his wife and her past , even he asks her to help him to trace the rebel.
Overall one of the best films produced by Bollywood , Go for it !!
