Khoon Aur Paani

Mr. Khan after hunting dakoits as a bounty hunter in some great Curry westerns here plays one himself a long time after his memorable dakoit role in Mela'71.Jeetu is his long lost brother,Rekha his girlfriend and Ajit & Ranjeet his enemies.But the one who walks away with the entire caboose is Praveen Babi.Perhaps one of the most beautiful n flamboyant girls to grace the Hindi film screen.Here she is great as a comical bike-riding bounty huntress who has the funniest n interesting scene's n lines in this otherwise plain oater.It's a somewhat stretched plot line n the movie does drag in "alot" of spaces but still not a bad way to kill an afternoon.The best line though belongs to Ranjeet Saab. "Kehten hain ma Key Peron tale jannat ho ti hai!" "Jannat to nahin humein 'time-bomb' mi la so humne laga diya' Hahahahahahahah!That line alone was worth the 28 rupees I paid for the VCD.

Brothers Ram, a dreaded bandit, and Lakshman, an undercover cop, who got separated in their childhood, face-off without knowing their relationship.

By 1981, the "innocent boy grows up to be a dakku and is part of a lost and found situation" was done to death, and so when watching this over-familiarity is very strong, and you can almost predict what might happen, but despite all this, Khoon aur Paani is a fun watch which is helped by the performances and the nifty pace, and the ability to have you yearning for the villains to get their upcommance. Ajit is his usually villainous self with oodles of style, Ranjeet is scaring the ladies as usual and to counter them is Jeetendra and Feroz Khan, the latter goes balmy every time he sees a water pump, and delivers dialogue flawless. Matter of fact, the dialogue is above average and snappy. Parveen Babi and Rekha do very well in their roles.
