Excellent direction by J.P. Dutta (Border). Music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal was beautiful n soul stirring. Cinematography by Ishwar Bidri was top notch. Those sand dunes, havelis, isolated school in the desert, empty railway stations. The film has an ensemble cast comprising Dharmendra, Mithunda, Mazhar Khan, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Raza Murad, Smita Patil, Reena Roy, Anita Raj, Naseeruddin Shah and Om Shivpuri. Magnificent dialogues by magnificent actor Dharmendra. But above all the character Jhabhar pratap aka Mithunda was an icing on the cake. The rebels always die, the cruel caste system does not. Its about class war and revolution. The violent climax underscores the harsh reality that the rebels always die, the cruel and unjust system does not. Koi shak? Any doubts?
