    Childhood memories ❀

    I watched it in Nandan Cinema Meerut when I was 4-5 years old and still remembered few posters and scenes.. I used to mimic Shatrughn dialogue "Maa ke Laal" But I thought it's "BaankeLaal" πŸ˜‚ so I always said "Baanke Laal" Overall nothing great but still good timepass action movie of late 80's

    Almost a good movie

    The plot outline was tried and true. Good cop killed for being too honest. Son goes into law enforcement to do right. Twist added of son rejecting harsh police tactics - especially brutalizing suspects and prisoners. He wants to change to more carrots and fewer sticks. Crime bosses, vulnerable women being protagonists' Achilles tendon true to genre traditions.

    Reasonably decent casting. Some gratifying action sequences with a generous amount of mostly bloodless fighting and shooting. And, at 134 minutes, shorter than many of these productions.

    But OMG! The dialog is an atrocity, with one overlong, pompous speech after another dragging this down to mediocrity, and making the running time feel longer than it is. Fast-forward through most of the facial closeups denoting speeches, and enjoy the meat without stuffing yourself on the fat.

    • Trivia
      Film was completed in less than 6 months due to efficiency of David Dhawan as a director. Coming from an editor background Dhawan knew exactly what to shoot so minimal editing was needed. Although the film flopped Dhawan was still able to secure more work due to his efficiency. Producers were eager to sign him as his films stayed on budget.
