Best of Rakesh Roshan

Khudgarz review :

"Ek ne nibhaya dosti ka farz, doosra kehlaya Khudgarz"; Vijay Behl used to announce on the popular radio advertisement.

Released at Mumbai's Metro Cinema, Khudgarz was desi adaptation of Jeffery Archer's 'Kane and Abel' which saved producer- director Rakesh Roshan from a definite bankruptcy after the disasterous Bhagwaan Dada (1986).

Good all round performances (Shatrughan Sinha was the show stealer as Bihari), superb music by Rajesh Roshan, technically slick with rich production values; Khudgarz struck the right chord with the audience and became one of the biggest hits of 1987. Rakesh Roshan never looked back after this film and gave numerous hits like Khoon Bhari Maang (1988), Kishen Kanhaiya (1990), Karan Arjun (1995) and Koyla (1997) sticking to his fixation for alphabet K.

P. S. The only flaw I find in Khudgarz was the mis-casting of a roly poly Rishi Kapoor (He was Roshan's bestie in real life) as a beggar!!!!
