Well, another heroine-oriented movie in which the leading lady loses her beloved because of some cruel villain. The film is quite poorly made and is filled with many overdone action scenes which were quite typical at the time as well as numerous horribly-made comic sequences. The film also has an extended appearance by Shahrukh Khan to enhance its market value, but he is not given much to do with his role. Army is a Sridevi vehicle and she is excellent. First, she looks beautiful and does well in all the phases of her character, whether it's the happy wife, the traumatised widow, or the decisive avenger. The role is not as good as the role she had in Gumrah, but it's good enough and she anyway manages to rise above the film's silliness. Danny Denzongpa plays the exact caricature villain he played in many other films. The music is forgettable. I see no reason to recommend this unless you are a Sridevi fan.

Too bad that Shah Rukh Khan's role was so small in this movie. The scenes with him and Sridevi are just too funny. You do get a shock of seeing him with a moustache but thank god he will get rid of that soon. He was so funny and Sridevi is just amazing. But his part in the movie is too short. After his part these 4 losers come along, and the whole movie line changes, and these 4 guys all look alike, with leather pants and jackets, as if they are about to go to a Fonzie reunion! The villain is too unreal, He is a too strict looking guy. Anyway it was just not my cup of tea, Go see it if you are a Shah Rukh Khan or Sridevi fan like me, cause you need to see his part, and sit the movie through cause he has another short part somewhere in the middle of the movie.

Geeta (Sridevi) is married to Arjun (Shahrukh) but before their child is born he is killed by the weapons trafficking Naagraaj (Danny Denzongpa). In the meantime five young men have been arrested for murder and are in jail waiting to be put to death. Sridevi busts them out of jail, and uses them to plot revenge against Naagraaj. Instead of the usual Jai Ma Kaali version we have the Jai Jai Mahadev version and a rather straight story without too many surprises. The leather clad criminals are very forgettable, and their love stories are inane and silly. Danny Denzongpa does a good job as the cruel criminal type, Kiran Kumar is good as the jailer brother. Shahrukh has a small but vital role and does not disappoint, he does it competently and has good chemistry with Sridevi. Sridevi shines as usual - this may not be one of her best, but even that is always good. The song and dance on broken glass was certainly inspired by Sholay. The music is decent, the story a simple tale of revenge but the movie is certainly worth a one time watch.

Overall this was a very good movie. Shah Rukh Khan's scenes were clearly the highlight as his interaction with Sridevi was brilliant and funny. Although I thought he was very good in the film the film focused too much on him (i mean 3 songs with the guy who's only there for 15 minutes?!) It should have concentrated on fleshing out the 'Army' more and the three love stories were basically pointless. I feel Mohnish Behl and Sudesh Berry's characters were more identifiable than the other three and so i was unhappy with the climax. The first song especially and the 'Army' song are clearly the only two songs worth remembering. But watched as a whole the movie leaves you feeling good.
