Featured review
The Burning Train is an action thriller disaster film directed by Late Ravi Chopra. The film stars an ensemble cast of Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Late Vinod Khanna, Late Parveen Babi, Jeetendra, Neetu Kapoor, Late Vinod Mehra, Late Navin Nischol and Danny Denzogpa.
Indian fastest passenger train met with a tragedy in its maiden voyage due to sabotage.
The film was an average grosser upon it's release but is now considered as classic and is one of it's kind film ever produced in the history of Indian cinema. The film is not only entertaining but can also be called as an high octane film which will keep you engaged with the fast paced screenplay primarily in second half of the film.
The plot of the film is unique and execution is good, the first half of the film makes the foundation of the film and second half delivers. The only drawback which I felt and wasn't required was too many subplots which I didn't wished to share to avoid spoilers, these subplots might irritate viewers and also breaks the rhythm of the film.
Acting in the film was mind blowing and all the characters were perfect but a very special mention for Danny as he was yet again terrific in his negative role. The acting was so perfect that even the smaller roles of Asha Sachdev, Late Rajendra nath, Late Yunus Parvez, Asrani and Late Dinesh Thakur left an impression.
The music of the film was mind blowing and all credit to the legendry Late R. D. Burman for such a marvelous music. Climax of the film was perfect and gives a great closure to the film. A must watch film.
