    Sujata Mehta deserved better!!

    Kanwarlal review :

    The films title is borrowed from Jeetendra''s famous character from his super hit movie Meri Aawaz Suno (1981).

    Jeetendra plays a benevolent don who works like Robinhood. Raj Babbar is the corrupt politician who cheats Sujata Mehta and she ends up being a lawyer and also Jeetendra's love interest. Mahabharat serial's Arjun has a small role as Jeetendra's trusted henchman.

    A typical 80s movie with overdose of action, melodrama and a courtroom climax. It didn't do as well as Meri Aawaz Suno and particularly nixed the career of the charming Sujata Mehta who was really banking on this movie.

    Overall, an average fare and just about one time watch.

    Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.
