    Powerful and Brilliant

    Tezaab, with the tag line a Violent Love Story. Tells the story of Anil Kapoor and his life. He goes through a series of serious incidents which causes him Tezaab. As the title suggests, Tezaab means Acid, as in the burning acid in Anils heart. Anil Kapoor in a award winning role gives a Brilliant performance. Madhuri Dixit looks sexier then ever in a great performance. Chunkey Pandey provides plenty of humour with sidekicks like Johnny Lever in a younger role. Chunkey gives his best performance I've seen till the 2005 release D. Mandakini is there for 10 minutes and looks sexy as usual. The supporting Cast give good performances including Anupom Kher and Kiran Kumar. Tezaab has the famous dance song Ek Do Teen, that made Madhuri more popular in her sexy dance. Madhuri looks stunning in the song, but looks more sexier in Khal Nayak - Choli ke peeche. Tezaab is a great movie that is worth the watch.

    Nice film

    N Chandra used to make great films in the past, this film is his most memorable film ever and also was a big hit

    The film also is remembered as Anil's one of best performances and also made Madhuri a sensation

    The film may sound ordinary today but was different those days the film does have lot of clichés and the initial college scenes and the entire jumping form top scene of Anil is too amateurish but it's okay for it's time

    The film successfully portrays a violent love story which falls due to circumstances

    The scenes between Anil and Madhuri are pure magic while the transformation of Anil should be seen to be believed The pace is hampered at times and also there are too many stupid scenes in the middle plus the ingredients of commercial film yet the film stands out

    N Chandra does a great job Music was a big hit

    Anil Kapoor stands out, his walk, talk all make you feel he is a real tapori which he had played before in MASHAAL but here his role became most memorable He kept playing goon roles later in THIKANA and other films Madhuri Dixit was good in her part Anupam excels and evokes more hatred then Kiran Kumar Kiran Kumar irritates as the villain Annu Kapoor is good

    Great film

    Tezaab is an awesome powerful love story. Though it is inspired from some other film, Tezaab is memorable mainly due to brilliant performances of Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit. The other suppoting star cast are also good in their respective characters. Madhuri became an overnight sensation after this film. Tezaab is a great film with great performances.

    A violent love story

    A violent love story as the director promised. Action,emotion,drama,music,dance,comedy and what not? The songs are absolutely fantastic the dance number "ek do teen" was a smash hit in those days other songs were equally good. The comedy by Johny Lever and Chunky Pandey was very good. Especially the scene when Chunky poses as an Arab business man in a gambling den. All the casts were perfect fit in this film except Anil Kapoor. Although he was the lead roll he looked too old to pass as a collage student. Madhuri Dixit looks absolutely beautiful in this movie. This was the movie when she became a star overnight. This is a really good movie. I have seen it more than 10 times.

    The Dancer

    The story drags a lot. The story has many angels. Several stories stitched one. A remake of a Hollywood movie. The songs are very good. Especially, So gaya yeh jahan, so gaya asman... I didn't like the ending and some of the parts of the movie. Anil Kapoor, Madhuri, Anupam Kher did very very well. Chunkey Pandey, Johnny Lever, were also good. Recommended 60%.
