Tridev

Tridev is one of my favourite movie of all time, Its one of those films that you cannot get over it, at the end of the film you feel as though reaching for the rewind button, anyway this movie is absolutely awesome, I watched it on Max television in 2005, I am really out of words, basically all the stars played there part very specifically and very well done, Rajiv rai created a situation, where all the audience would get hyped up to see what happens in the next scene, honestly this movie is the best, after tridev became superhit in the 1989, Rajiv rai delivered another action packed movie "Vishwatma" in the year 1992, Rajiv thought of bring the starcast from tridev into Vishwatma, but unfortunelty Jackie became a Father and his fortuneteller told him not to go abroad, because the majority of the shooting were involved in kenya, so they replaced Chunky Pandey, nevertheless I would recommend you guys to watch Tridev, seriously at the end of the film you guys will reach for the rewind button.

Karan Saxena who is a very honest and dedicated inspector is being transferred to Madhupur when he sets out to investigate about corruption, murder and idealism in his community. The police suspect is that a criminal called Bhujang/Bhairav Singh (Amrish Puri) is involved in every crime of the country. While in Madhupur, Karan befriends Jai Singh another victim of Bhujang's terror. While Ravi who is Divya's (Madhuri Dixit) brother has doubt for Bhujang in his mind too. He, however, ends up and fall in love with a cabaret dancer Natasha (Sangeeta Bijlani). All three men decided to form a gang called Tridev and destroy Bhujang and his gang.

I watched this movie when I was kid being born in the 80s. In 2023 today, I am still watching this movie over and over again.

It's one of those movies with amazing music which was also ahead of it's time. You cannot fault this movie unless you have a major itch and can't appreciate it for what it is. I love this movie and even got my 11 year kids to watch it and they love it too. Spread love and you'll see the appreciation for the film.

This is one of those movies with 3 big actors and unending villains. It has some good classic songs which are now being remixed.

I hope you enjoy the movie as much I have over the years.

Tridev is a gloriously chaotic 80s explosion that slaps you with fistfights, foot-tapping anthems, and villains so cartoonishly evil they deserve their own spin-off!

Naseeruddin Shah, in a rare popcorn flick detour, hams it up as the exiled cop Karan, delivering punchy one-liners with arthouse flair, while Sunny Deol's brooding bandit Jai roars through demolition-derby action like a human wrecking ball. Jackie Shroff's slick Ravi adds the cool factor, but let's be real - the ladies (Madhuri, Sonam, Sangeeta) are criminally sidelined as damsels in distress, dazzling in dances but starving for script meat. Amrish Puri's Bhujang? Pure menace gold, chewing scenery like it's paan.

Rajiv Rai's direction amps the masala to eleven, with Viju Shah's score (hello, "Oye Oye" mania!) turning every scene into a party. Sure, the plot's a predictable revenge rollercoaster riddled with logic black holes - framed heroes unite, bad guys explode - but who cares when the energy's this infectious?

A guilty pleasure that outshines today's CGI snoozefests, Tridev proves three angry dudes can topple an empire.

Watch it for the nostalgia high; skip if you demand subtlety. 8/10 for sheer audacious fun!

I have extremely fond memories of this classic. Out of Naseer Udin Shah, Sunny Deol and Jackie Shroff it was Sunny Deol that stood out as the angry cop Karan Saxena. Amrish Puri was superb as Bhujang in one of my favourite roles of his. There was also so many other characters, including Anupum Kher as the devoted Pollice commissioner. The music is so good it deserves a special mention. My personal Favourite is Oye Oye.

The director Rajiv Rai went on to make other great movie including the superb follow up Vishwatamma, Mohra and the suspense thriller Gupt. Unfortunately he has hit a rough patch with this recent releases Pyar Ishq and Mohabbat and Asambhav flopping. Rajiv Rai has a reputation for repeating his cast, Sunny Deol came in Tridev and its follow up whilst Naseer Uddin Shah starred in Tridev, Vishwatamma and Mohra.Character actors like Tej Sapru have appeared in almost all of his movies. Tremendous fun.
