    Emotional outbursts

    A movie that can bring a load of flood of cries. It is emotional with elements that of revenge. Revengeful. Story about two identical twins, but one day this bond disconnects after a brutal incident that occurs leaving one of them shattered while losing the other of her genetic doppelgänger. It was painful to watch. As always just KKHH, in this movie too Kajol looked so good being a tomboy. Her character was dope, like seriously. She nailed it. Songs were top notch. Song: Awaz do humko-omg so good- so was chitti na koi sandesh, so deep and sad melody. The lover story angle was so so so good between Sanju baba and Kajol. The quarrel dialogues and romantic exchanges of words were so heart touching.

    Intense, nail biting thriller and the birth of an brilliant actor... Ashutosh rana 👍

    Script and villain.... These 2 are the high points of Dushman, a thriller film released in 1998, directed by tanuja chandra. The story and pace of the film is worth watching. Adapted from hollywood movie an eye for an eye, dushman gets deeply into the human psyche. All characters of dushman are well written, containing grey shades, and has lots of questions and curiosities going inside their minds. That's what makes dushman a brilliant thriller. All actors are convincing. Special mention for ashutosh rana as main antagonist. He gave a new definition to the Indian villain. Songs, music are good.

    Perfect thriller

    Ashutosh Rana's character was perfect and felt real, this the most thriller character I've seen and made him iconic in this genre. It was borderline scary. It takes you into a world most are not familiar with, so both males and females will enjoy it, especially during sleepovers. I wish there were more characters or movies like these, the side of him thinking he's a higher power or traditional as well makes it unique for lndian culture.

    Kajol always looks beautiful but her acting and emotions were so strong, you really felt the love for her sister. The faith of one of them shows reality of life, but the grudge and power Kajol showed means we must keep going on. This movie was highly underrated for her.
