Vinashak - Destroyer

Vinashak is a bollywood action thriller. As a Sunil Shetty starrer, Vinashak goes beyond the expectations of those who are prejudiced towards him,I must say. The film,in general is about an honest cop's battle against the corrupt law,after losing his near and dear ones in fighting the wicked.This may sound similar to many films,but this one has good dialogs and excellent action sequences unlike the fake ones in the other films,and the plot is good. Music is average,choreography unremarkable. Sunil Shetty and Om Puri act their roles well,Danny is OK as the villain. You can watch this.It's not a waste of time.But don't be prejudiced. Another remarkable film of Sunil Shetty that I would recommend is Red Alert:The war within

Sunil Shetty debuted in 1992 with Raju Mawani's Balwan and didn't look back after that, however 1995 - 96 weren't really good for him though Rakshak and Krishna became hit in 96 but in 1997 he gave blockbuster like border (he got accolades for his performance in Border )and hit like Bhai and post border he took his acting seriously and the improvement can be seen in vinashak especially in emotional scenes. Strongest point of Vinashak is it's story itself which was written by Raj Kumar Santoshi. Sunil Shetty was impeccable as a cop Arjun Singh while Ravina had to look sexy and she looked too, Dany and his henchman Mukesh Rishi were phenomenal in the movie, Mohan Joshi, Shivaji Satam,Satyen Kapu and Harish Patel all have brief roles. Om Puri was good as inspector Khan. The action sequences were pretty good and breathtaking. The music of Viju Shah was just average except the title song by Amit Kumar.

Good movie. Cast is also great. Sunil Shetty has done the great justice to this character. Om puri has also done good job. And forever villain Denny is one of great personality.

Suneil Shetty kept doing nonsense action films in the 90's after BALWAAN(1992) but post 1994 he kept getting flops BORDER(1997) was a godsend as it was a blockbuster and won him rave reviews and also his work started improving

Still he kept doing action films where he needs to fight mainly

VINASHAK too falls in the bracket though it's a decent film The film however has a good plot but it's handling is typical

The film has the typical 90's situations like the honest cop is blamed and then how he takes revenge

The film has some good scenes and writing by RKS is better then his most films but still it isn't anything novel

Direction by Ravi Dewan is good in parts Music is okay

Suneil tries hard though his role is similar to his debut BALWAAN yet he has improved a lot, though he still had rough edges those days Raveena is as usual Amongst rest The villains Danny, Tinnu Anand,Mukesh Rishi,Alok Nath are all as usual while Mohan Joshi is adequate Harish Patel is okay, Shivaji Satham leaves a mark in a small role

That song alone makes this movie about 8 out of 10. This is an excellent action movie that I've seen at least 20 times. The cast is one of the reasons why the film is so good. The good guys are all suited perfectly for their roles while the bad guys are the same way. The 3 main bad guys and their hired helping hand, Ashghar, are a batch of many types. They form a potent team that is hard to beat. The good guys are slightly fewer in number but able to make up for it by being formidable themselves. The songs are excellent throughout, the music is great, and the action is fast yet the plot relaxes here and there to make the movie go at a good pace. I highly suggest this movie to anyone who likes Indian action films. The movie "Om" was very good too and Vinashak is in that flavour!!!
