If u like Sunil shetty u will start loving him after watching this excellent thriller...don't miss this 1994 superhit action pack thriller..

....is the main reason I saw the movie, and recently too.....nostalgic for that super-hit song which I haven't heard in a while. The movie overrall was "eh". I don't know Hindi, but I can tell the acting wasn't all there based on other Hindi movies I have watched. The songs were amazing albeit having nothing to do with the movie itself. The plot was decent but could have been strengthened with better acting especially from the big Bollywood names that were in this movie. Anyway, classic because of the songs, not much the movie itself.

This movie is considered to be one of the greatest Hindi action movies so far. I actually have watched it several times, it has many twists and a lot of action and believe me, you will be at the edge of your seat all through the movie.

The story is about Vishal Agnihotri (Sunil Shetty) who is sentenced to life imprisonment for killing four college students who raped and killed his wife and were responsible for the death of his sister-in-law. Roma Sing (Raveena Tandon) is a journalist who meets Vishal in jail where he comes to her rescue. Roma learns of Vishal's predicament and decides to help him by taking his case to Mr. Jindal (Naseeruddin Shah), a blind media tycoon. Mr. Jindal through his connections and media forces a special jury to review Vishal's case which later pardons Vishal.

Vishal is indebted to Mr. Jindal and undertakes a risky mission which is killing all the drug dealers around who were responsible for the death of Mr. Jindal's wife. Vishal finds inspector Amar Saxena (Akshay Kumar), Roma's boyfriend, at the crossroads of his every mission. Ironically, Amar is also on the same mission as Vishal, but less successful as Amar has to work within the framework of law.

At one point Mr. Jindal, Inspector Amr, Roma and Vishal find each other at crossroads realizing that each is being used as mere pawns by someone. But who is the manipulator and who is the conspirator? Watch Mohra to see how the game of life is played? The story, the songs, the soundtrack and the acting, especially Naseeruddin Shah and Sunil Shetty, are all great.

Recommended for every Hindi movie fans. 8.5 out of 10.

Vishal (Sunil Shetty), a murder convict, is released on compassionate grounds before his sentence is up. Once out of prison, he's enlisted by media tycoon Jindal (Nasseruddin Shah) to eliminate drug traffickers who are destroying the very fabric of the society.

The big bosses of the drug mafia are assassinated one after the other in rapid succession. Amar (Akshay Kumar), an honest and committed policeman in charge of the case is convinced that Vishal is responsible for bumping them off. Will Amar succeed in nailing Vishal? Will Vishal's mission succeed? Is everything as simple as it appears on the surface?

Mohra was a movie with a pretty good plot, given that it was made in the 90s, when the quality of Hindi movies was terrible. Viewed today, the treatment would appear too unrealistic and the characters caricature like. There is a wholly superfluous romantic angle which is frankly inconsequential in a thriller. But given the quality of Hindi movies made in the 1990s and the formulaic treatment typical in that era, Mohra was an excellent movie.

The songs in the movie were incredibly popular in the 90s and it must be said that they have aged well. The 'tu cheez badi hai' song was one of the biggest chart busters of that era. Akshay Kumar's costume in that song was a rage in the mid 90s.

As for the acting, the leads (Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty and Raveena Tandon) were just about adequate. Its the supporting cast that really stands out in this movie. Nasseruddin Shah, Paresh Rawal and Sadashiv Amrapurkar were magnificent despite their limited role and the limited scope that the script afforded them- I have given 2 stars only for their performance (especially Paresh Rawal).

At this distance in time, Mohra is best viewed as a product of its time. If you haven't watched too many Hindi movies from the 90s, keep your expectation low- you won't be disappointed.

This movie I think is one of the greatest successes of Rajiv Rai. The plot is full of twists and turns and the name of the movie pretty much lets you know a few surprises are expected. The acting is good and the blockbuster song "Tu cheez badi hai mast mast" is just amazing. Rajiv Rai has done his best to keep the audience guessing and believe me you will be on the edge of your seats. It's a great movie that I would recommend to any Hindi movie lover.
