Aandhi-Toofan

Heroines avenging the death of their husbands, if not repeated many times, still can't be taken as a very genuine subject. Rakesh Roshan's "Khoon Bhari Mang" can be taken as one of the memorable films in the category in which Rekha makes a tremendous performance. "Aandhi-Toofan" wasn't a very memorable movie of the time due to its insipid story, which isn't a very clever reap off of "Sholay" as the trivia of IMDb itself states. The story and narration of the film is weak and has much of the influence of western movies. Despite this, if the film is watchable, it's for the fast pace the film gets and the technical aspects. If you can forgive the familiarity of the story, you get to enjoy the presence of the stars like Hema Malini, Mithun, Shatrughan Sinha, Danny, and in a cameo, Sashi Kapoor, who though not in very memorable roles, still are attractive to watch in the present day. The cinematography, action, and songs contribute to the fast pace of the film concealing the mediocrity of the script. Anyway, do try to watch it to see what the '80s Bollywood action flicks were like.
