    The best action movie of Bollywood cinema

    I would rate this movie as the best action flick of all times in Bollywood, this was remade in south as Dharma. I am surprised about imdb rating, this should be 10/10.

    The action and the dialogues made this an evergreen movie and this is a landmark.

    A full entertainer

    Ziddi is one of the finest Bollywood masala movies that has good music, strong script, good acting, romance and above all amazing action sequences. While Raveena makes her presence felt strongly, Ashish Vidyarthi excels in the negative role. And for the Sunny Deol fans, he not only entertains but definitely makes an even bigger fan following with his acting, dialogue delivery and amazing action sequences.

    A must watch especially for the ones who love the 80s and 90s era.

    A master class action movie

    Sunny has always shown such a real action and cinema in his all movies except the one he released later in 2007. And Guddu dhanoa knows how to bring that potential of him on screen. Ravens Tandon rocks as always and she is really looking hot to fall for. I have watched this probably 6 to 7 times never looks old

    Well written script and various grey shaded characters.

    Ziddi is a good action thriller directed by guddu dhanoa. Performances are convincing. Ashish vidyarthi excels in his role. Action, music, direction is good. But the main aspect of the film is the tight script. Each scene, each sequence, each dialogue, each character is well connected. There's a reason clearly visible behind each happening of the film. Ziddi was a turning point in the history of hindi cinema where script was the protagonist. Actors were more important than stars. These was clearly visible in ziddi. After ziddi there were various movies which focussed on story rather than stars.
