I dont know why i like it very much. ...emotions got changed into the revenge;may be that's why i... I extremely weak in like this genre...

This is the only review I've written to date. The low rating of the film compulsed me to write a review. The film is amazing. One of my favourite films of all time. Some of the best dialogues I've heard. Basically it's a film in the mould of Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (another one of my favourite films). It's about the harshness of life. If you believe that life is always a challenge but you must still do good no matter what the recompense then this is the film for you.

Loved It , story and script was excellent and well picturized .

In this grim and violent drama, Salman Khan plays Ajay, abandoned as a baby and raised by a police officer. Despite his adopted father's kindness, Ajay finds life difficult and grows up serious, hard, and deadly. When he tangles with the local crime boss, Ajay's family and friends are targeted. Ajay then becomes a vigilante and sacrifices all to free his community.

Unlike the typical Bollywood film, there is no romance or comedy. It is strictly drama, addressing serious issues such as forced prostitution, government corruption, and the near impossibility of rising from poverty to a decent life. Khan's character carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, and Khan doesn't smile once until the poignant last five minutes of the movie. While this is not a movie I'd ever watch again, it is powerful, and I'm glad I've seen it.

This is a movie that has all the trappings of an action movie from the late 80s to the mid 90s with a couple unique elements, mainly it's overall very dark theme with no respite in terms of lighter moments, no lead actress and a tacky production coupled with veteran actors that lend it a theatrical appeal. That said, this is no groundbreaking cinema and the director is someone who I guess has an 80s hangover in terms of screenplay and editing. Now, coming back to the core aspects of this enterprise- acting, action, screenplay and direction. Acting wise, it has a lineup of some really good actors and most of them do a decent job but it's Salman Khan that needs a mention here. To be clear, I don't consider him an actor until this day, but he somehow manages to do well here simply because he has minimal dialogue which works pretty well, so I'd call it a win for him. A special mention for Akhilendra Mishra who brings out evil in a way that feels theatrical and menacing spread over with sort of extended dialogue that at times feel like monologue and has a fleshed out character. Action is generic but bgm especially in the ultimate face off is well done. Screenplay is not great and editing is hasty at times but not terrible. Direction is sub-par overall but works in parts especially in creating an atmosphere that is ominous and signals a sense of impending doom. Music is okay but "Jahan kabhi dil ne khayi thokar.." is very good. All in all a decent watch for action fans and while I watched it in my early teens it has stayed with me ever since. I never donned my critic hat on at the time as I just wanted to enjoy movies but I felt I had to put my views for this one.
