Socially relevant theme but poorly executed.

Naya Kadam review :

Himmatwala (1983) director K Raghavendra Rao's Naya Kadam had a socially relevant theme but its execution was like any typical South Indian actioner of the 80s.

Rajesh Khanna played the educated school teacher in a small village infested with class divide and chronic casteeism. He had not one, not two but three heroines - Sridevi, Padmini and Jaya Prada - vying for his love and yet, Naya Kadam didnt have a single chartbuster song to boast off. Khanna's chemistry with the girls was also ekdum pheeka.

Kader Khan, as the comic villain, called himself Gaon Ka Hitler while Om Shivpuri was happy playing his sidekick. Ranjeet looked dashing as the alcoholic goon who gets to marry Padmini Kolhapure.

Even with its noble intent of rural upliftment, Naya Kadam was a downer coming from K Raghavendra Rao. His Himmatwala partner Jeetendra was better suited for the lead role. Perhaps, that explains why the film turned out to be only an average grosser at the box office.

A good social subject

The movie has a good social subject and is about caste ism and monopoly in villages of India. The hero takes up the fight for the commoners and ultimately executes the tyrants. Rajesh Khanna the Super Star is the hero of the movie and is supported well by Sridevi, Jaya Prada and Padmini Kolhapore. Kader Khan plays the tyrant supported by Ranjeet. The movie is mounted well, good sets, good editing, good direction. The movie had above average music by Bappi Lahiri. This hit is a must see for Rajesh Khanna fans as he plays the role of the protagonist to perfection and puts up great performance. He is good in dance and action scenes also in the movie. Him dancing with young Sridevi is a treat to watch.

Trivia
People questioned why Jaya Pradha accepted a small role in the film. She stated she did the role because it was a powerful role and very important to the script. More importantly she said in Hindi version, she gets to marry Rajesh Khanna. Sridevi had acted in the south version of the film.
