Guru Dev is a top notch action made by the late Vinod Mehra, with a great RD Burman soundtrack to go with it.
The story is typically 70s which if it was made back then one could've seen vinod mehra acting in it himself. Written by Prayag Raaj -who also i believe co wrote Coolie and Mard and also made Geraftaar starring Amitabh Bachchan Kamal Hassan and Rajnikant which is another great film - gives the story the extra something which puts it above the films which normally follow bollywood formula's
The songs were great,RD Burman had lost it big time in the mid eighties with too much mediocre work, 1942 A love story he was recognised as great again, but it didn't have the RD Feeling to it, Guru Dev however, seemed like he went back to his roots which has RD Burmans style stamped all over it
Performance wise everyone was good, Anil Kapoor put in a solid performance. It was also nice to Rishi Kapoor in a change of persona in a more action based role shame he didn't get much more of these. Sridevi was brilliant,and possibly over shadows the main leads to an extent,she has such a great comic timing,which hardly any actress has managed to perfect down the years, which is why I regard her as the best actress ever.
Overall Guru Dev is a solid entertainer and definitely one to check out
