    Raj Kanwar is the man who made magic through concepts done to death be it Deewana, Laadla.etc Jeet was another success, The film reminds us of Muqaddar Ka Sikandar in parts but yet it's a nice watch. The film starts with SunnY Deol a gunda who kills a person and Alok Nath gives a complaint in police, Sunny comes to attack Aloth Nath and meets Kaajal(Karisma) there and falls for her, after stalking her slowly they fall in love which is ridiculed by Alok Nath and she marries Salman The film has lot of irony, Salman is shown a good character but his family has links to crime(his dad Dalip Tahil and uncle Amrish Puri are in underworld) There are some overdone melodramatic scenes which were a norm in 1990s Also some action scenes are overdone keeping in mind Sunny's action hero image.

    Direction by Raj Kanwar is good Music by Nadeem Shravan is good but the choreography spoils the songs, Yaara o Yaara is still criticised for Sunny's dance steps, same with Sanson ka Chalna a terrific song but choreographed badly Abhi Saans is a good song, Tu Dharti is a fab number by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik picturised on Sunny and Karisma.

    Sunny Deol is superb in his role though too loud at times but suits the part, this is one of his best roles Karisma Kapoor is as usual in her role, this film released in the same year as her career defining Raja Hindustani Salman Khan overdoes his goodness yet he is shown as a foil to Sunny Deol. Amrish Puri is as usual, Dalip Tahil is okay, Deepak Shirke and Mohan Joshi are as usual Alok Nath is his usual self, Tabu is okay

    Jeet has a good amount of action, and it a different side of Sunny Deol. At times, I wonder if this was even an ideal title for the movie, because Sunny was supposed to win the love for good and NOT lose her to Salman (he always gets the girl in a 2 guy and 1 girl story). If it was just Sunny as the hero with a different plot, then it would be even better. Another small problem is in the very last scene. After Sunny bashes the main baddie, Amrish Puri, then a moment later Sunny is shot but then he bounces back and kills him, saving Salman's life, but Sunny's character unwittingly dies, which kind of makes the ending a little abrupt. This part makes no sense, and it is unfair to Sunny, as his character is one that wants a decent, respectable love life, NOT die. Only this aspect chops off 3 pts. from this vote. It was tough to see Lolo ditch Sunny for Salman, but she later repented. Having said that, Jeet could have easily done without Sunny's character dying because tragic endings are NOT well-received, and they do NOT fit the story, unless the hero was a famous martyr. However, the baby boy at the end was named after Sunny's character. Surprisingly, this film was a hit. Anyways, the movie is NOT bad or anything, just avoid tragic endings! Johnny Lever in the first half is funny!
  • Even though this was released at a time when I used to watch a lot of movies for reason beyond my memory I had never seen this completely. I finally got round to watch this very recently and I can say that it was for the best. Had I watched this at the time I would have probably thought this is a movie that deserves 9 or 10 out of 10.

    This film belongs to 2 people only Sunny Doel who had some great scenes in the film followed by Tabu who after Sunny Doel had 2 of the best scenes in the film. Tabu had a handful of scenes but the 2 scenes that stand out are her confrontation with Inspector Pratap Vidyarthi (Ashish Vidyarthi).

    Salman Khan one decent scene against Amrish Puri but for most of the film I found him annoying. When he enters into the film at around 45 Min's in, I thought he was doing a poor impression of Shashi Kapoor. This is an actor who I thought gave some excellent performances in films like Karan Arjun, Veergati and Andaz Apna Apna earlier here he probably thought what the hell lets just do the most over the top and really poor acting I can. Karishma Kapoor is a good actress but her performance in this movie was mediocre. Jonny Lever was wasted and all other actors supported fine. The child that Sunny Doel takes in i found could have been used better, he was that balance between good and evil for Karan (Sunny Doel).

    The movie itself is a 2 guys one girl and who ends up with the girl in the end. I am not a huge fan of the music from this movie, I hate Nadeem Shravan as they put down the greatest music directors Bollywood had, Laxmikant Pyarelal. That being said i think the best song in the whole film is the Kavita Krishnamurthy Song Dil Ka Kya Kahen Sahib pictured on Tabu. The rest were OK. Finally who was the choreographer for the songs in this movie? Sunny Doel looked so awkward and trying too hard in the song Yaara o Yaara, Salman Khan looked like he was pissing himself laughing in one the songs and the choreography didn't even go with the songs.

    Would I watch the movie again? probably buy skipping through to watch the watchable bits and probably watching the whole movie in about 45/60 Min's. This movie gets 5 out of 10 only for Sunny Doel and Tabu.
  • Before I talk about the film I want to comment on Asbohra who stated in the above places review that Salman always gets the girl in a 2 guys, 1 girl situation. Please see HUM DIL DECHUKE SANAM, SAAJAN AND SIRF TUM before talking rubbish. Now for the movie...this movie is a remake of a lesser known classic directed by the actress Simi garewal named Rukshat. The film starred Mithun Chakrevotry (Sunny Deol), Marc Zuber (salman Khan) and Amisha (Kareena Kapoor) and Simmi herself (Tabu). Jeet is a wonderful movie with outstanding performances. Salman comes almost halfway the movie and he is , well, PREM. Sunny indeed gives one of his best performances ever and that says a lot from the actor who made movies like Damini, Ghayal, Arjun and many more. The soundtrack by Nadee'-Shravan has some gems with the evergreen ABHI SAAS LENE KI FURSAT NAHIN HAI KE TUM MERE BAAHON MEIN HO. This is probably the first time you were able to see Sunny dance like he danced here. And about the ending...that's what makes the movie great. Life is not just happiness and sunshine. Sometimes not so nice things happen too. Because I saw Rukshat and rate that movie as a classic and give it 10 out of 10 that's the only reason I am not giving Jeet a 10 but 9 out of 10. By the way there is a small disappointment. They should have had that beauty Tabu in the role of Karishma and Karishma in the special appearance Tabu did.
  • Jeet is meant to be a multi entertainer - Love, drama, action, music - all in one.

    Story is about a a goon who decides to turn over new leaf when he falls in love with a dancer, but when circumstances turn him away from her,things take a different turn for everyone.

    The acting and dialog delivery is good, specially on Sunny Deol and Amrish Puri's part.The music is good, so is the cinematography, some action sequences.

    There is some degree of overacting and unbelievable stuff, especially towards the end. Maybe those days people would've liked it...but not anymore.

    This film is good for Suny Deol's fans
  • (1996) Jeet (In Hindi with English subtitles) DRAMA CRIME/ ROMANTIC

    Co-written and directed by Raj Kanwar it has shady businessmen, Mr Gajraj Chandhry (Amrish Puri) CEO of a cracker factory conspiring with Pitamber (Mohan Joshi) and his associate Govardhan (Deepak Shirke) that involve the illegal selling of weapons. Except that there happens to be a journalist Blajeet Parmer who appear to threaten this kind of unwanted exposure. The next scene has four thugs chasing this journalist while he was attempting to run away, and he happens to be stopped by that one particular thug, who ended up cutting off one of his arms. By the time authorities did arrive, with Inspector Pratap asking for witnesses regarding the incident, no one talks other than Mr. Siddhant (Alok Nath) who was with his daughter, Kajal (Karishma Kapoor). For they are requested to drop by at the police station the following day. And while at home, a thug by the name of Karan (Sunny Deol) then breaks in and beats Mr. Srinivas him until his daughter sees this and intervenes. And it was at this point he just stops what he was doing and gazes at her before he walks out. While Karan is being incarcerated suffering in the hands of authorities, a prostitute Tulsibai then shows up at the station with her lawyer and her best friend, Piajee to post bail. And the first thing he does as soon as he is let out is stalk Kajal upon her visiting the temple. And while Karan is drowning his sorrows at a bar, he then sees a young boy being bullied by an older adult after spilling a drink. And it is not long before Karan beats him and his friends to a pulp. And just when he was going to stab the main troublemaker, the boy then stops him. Because the boy himself is also homeless with no parents, we understand why the name given to him is "Time Pass"(Master Mohsin)! Who Koran then takes Time Pass under his wing introducing and letting him stay with four other thugs that he lives with. And just as Koran is taking Time Pass to school by taking transit, Kajal and her friend coincidentally hop on to take very same bus as him. And it is not long before Kajal and her friend are physically assaulted by attackers who also hopped on the bus as well. Koran then intervenes and this time, he saves her and her friend against five aggressors. Later, Time Pass happens to know where she happens to live, and he motivates her to go and meet him. It is not long before they hit it off walking along the zoo with Time Pass. She then tells him if he was really in love with her, that he would have to make some sacrifices, such as to give up his violent ways and look presentable, as the thuggish look is the one he knows about. And Koran does to Kajal's satisfaction except that just when you think things are working out as he was initially a thug who bullies for shipping businessman Gajranj Chandhry. The other obstacle is as soon as old friends, Rajnath Raju Sahay (Salman Khan) and his dad, Ramakant Sahay (Dalip Tahil) begin to show up at Kajal's doorstep, both fathers then expecting both of their own children to be married to be one another. Kajal confesses to her dad she is in olve with somebody else creating a rift between him and his daughter. Stressing him out enough to have a heart attack. While the father thinks Koran is no good for his daughter, what he does not know about the shady business Raju might get involved it.

    A few things, like if Kaja; was so wealthy what was Kajal doing taking transit! It is so that Kajal can see Karan their first actual encounter. This is an example of convenience. What the heck was Time Pass doing at the hospital? It is so that he can be the one to inform Karan his love interest, Kajal is going to be married to someone else. Another unlikely scenario that can put in the category of convenience.
  • (Sunny Deol) plays Karan who is the dreaded hit-man for underworld don Gajraj Choudhary (Amrish Puri). One such criminal activity of Karan's brings him in an encounter with Sidhart Sharma (Alok Nath), and his daughter Kajal (Karisma Kapoor). During this encounter, Karan is mesmerized by Kajal, and falls in love with her.

    Initially Kajal shuns Karan's approach towards her, but with time and help from a little orphan named Time Pass (Master Mohsin), Kajal also starts loving Karan, and because of this love, Karan decides to start a new life with Kajal and leave his past life. Sidhart Sharma who is totally against the relationship decides to get Kajal married to his childhood friend Ramakant Sahay's (Dalip Tahil) son Raju (Salman Khan), who has just come from abroad, and coincidentally is also madly in love with Kajal.

    Kajal is left with the Dilemma of having to sacrifice her love for Karan, in order to satisfy her father, and marry Raju who doesn't know about the relationship between Karan and Kajal. Kajal decides to forget Karan and marry Raju to satisfy her father. When Karan knows about the marriage he swears that there will be a funeral full of corpses instead of the marriage. On the day of marriage, he goes to kill Raju but at the last moment, he realizes that if he kills Raju, Kajal will be sad forever, so he decides not to kill him. There is nothing now in Karan's life that is worth living for so, he goes back to his past life as a criminal.

    When Raju comes to know that his father is associated with Gajraj Choudhary, he becomes a threat to the underworld, and he has to be killed and it is Karan who is hired to kill Raju without knowing that he is Kajal's husband. When he comes to know that Raju is Kajal's husband, he refuses to kill him and instead, he starts saving him every time they try to kill him.

    Will Karan succeed in saving Raju's life? What will happen when Raju knows about the former relationship between Karan and Kajal? What will Gajraj Choudhary do when he knows that his hit-man is saving his enemy's life? Watch Jeet to know the answers!

    Recommended for every Hindi movie fans. 9 out of 10.
  • I'd like to start off by praising the production team, and specifically the director, Raj Kanwar, for doing a great job here. I didn't expect a film like this to come under the Nadiadwala Grandson banner; I was pleasantly surprised.

    One of Sunny Deol's career best performances. He is as convincing as ever in his role. I'm very surprised that he didn't win some awards for this. This is one of Karishma Kapoor's best performances; she does a great job in the female lead. Salman Khan is good too, as is Tabu. Alok Nath is OK, and Amrish Puri does a good job as he always does when he plays the role of the villain.

    I would also like to say that the screenplay is great and it has been edited very well.

    The music is nothing special. There's only one good song: 'dil ka kya karen sahib'.

    Verdict: It is not often you get to see Salman and Sunny in an action movie. It is a must watch. I give it 9.5/10
  • This is one of the major films that made me love Sunny deol. Jeet excels in all fronts from cinematography, background score, performances and great dialogues. The overall music is mediocre at best except the beautiful solo picturized on Tabu and the first duet of Sunny and Karisma (My most favourite).

    Sunny deol is the undisputed star of this magnus opus. His emotional scenes, his screams, his powerful action and melodrama. He is simply pure MAGIC!! Hats off to this brilliant jat. I was surprised he didn't get a Best Actor nomination at the Filmfare that year for Jeet, though he did get for Ghatak. It should have been Best Actor Nomination for Ghatak/Jeet. This was an unforgettable from him.

    Salman Khan is a surprise package. Although his entry into the fore is sometimes annoying and overtop (especially some of his funny scenes with Karisma)...But then towards the climax, he simply explodes in the melodramatic and serious scenes giving a delightful performance coupled with his irresistible charm that rightly earned him the filmfare nomination of Best Actor in a supporting role.

    Karisma is okay. Her scenes with Sunny and then later Salman are brilliant and equally convincing, although she overacts in some parts as usual and hams. But then her beauty is golden as always.

    The rest of the cast are okay and don't forget Tabu in a memorable performance as a courtesan.

    A brilliant extravaganza all in all. Watch it for Sunny deol, Salman Khan and Raj kanwar's exceptional direction. Paisa vasool
  • Warning: Spoilers
    Sunny Deol had a brilliant mid 90s period giving back to back hits despite one disaster Ajay. He gave a string of hits like Ghatak, Jeet,Border,and Ziddi. Jeet was one of his best films in the 90s period and it is also where the director makes good use of Sunny's acting. It's also a surprise that Nadiadwala would produce a brilliant film like this, because their banner always produces good films(not great).

    The story of the film is quite simple but it is the handling that deserves an applause. The movie exploits themes like sacrifice and loss which is brilliantly portrayed and directed in this film. Kajal and Karan's love story sacrificed for Kajal's dad's sake is quite typical but it is brilliantly showed. Salman Khan's promise to destroy his father and his uncle's criminal empire makes sense. The whole fear Karishma has that Sunny wants to kill Salman and get her back is well portrayed. The team up and a long battle in the end is also well shown. However, the ending is extremely sad. It sucks how Sunny Deol's character dies to save Salman but it's good how they Honor Deol after his death.

    Direction by Raj Kanwar is fabulous, he handles the entire film properly despite a few boring initial moments. The Salman-Karishma love story is boring yet funny. The Salman-Sunny confrontation and the climax is good. The Sunny-Karishma love story is better and the theme loss is brilliantly shown. Raj Kanwar sure knows how to turn a routine romantic action film into a decent one.

    Sunny Deol is the USP of the film, his expressions, his wide eyed look, and his action is brilliantly portrayed. He steals the show and this film was one of his biggest hits after Ghayal. Salman Khan does a good job, his serious act is good but his comedy is not as good as his other films like Judwaa. Karishma Kapoor does a good job and this is one of her first films where she excels. Instead of shrieking in an irritating manner, she acts. Alok Nath has little to do but he leaves a mark. Amrish Puri is getting typecast now however, he handles the villain act well. Other villains like Mohan Joshi and Deepak Shirke do an average job, they are extremely typecast. The rest provide decent support and are functional.

    On the whole, Jeet is a fantastic films with barely any flaws. There are a few clichés but that is forgiven because this is one awesome flick for a mid 90s movie.
  • i read review about this film here-n downloaded and watched film.. i never thought salman sunny worked together n film was klik n its hit pair..

    10/10
  • In this action-filled drama, Sunny Deol plays Karan, a hired gun for the local crime lord. When planning to beat up Kajal's father, he sees her and instantly falls in love with her. Kajal ( Karisma Kapoor) hates Karan at first, but gradually falls in love with him as well. Her father, not knowing her secret, arranges a marriage for KajAL with Raju (Salman Khan), a family friend. When Raju crosses the same crime lord, Karan is hired to kill Raju and the unexpected happens.

    This film is engrossing, sometimes moving, and always entertaining. It is quite violent, not atypical for Bollywood, and contains some impressive musical numbers. Deol is fantastic in his role, and is especially chilling as a killer. Khan was a bit over-the-top in his interpretation of Raju, but was as charming as ever. Kapoor played her emotional scenes spectacularly well.

    Overall, this is an excellent film and well worth watching for Bollywood fans.
  • It's a beautiful movie that showed what Sunny Deol can do with a movie if the script really allows him to be in his element. It's a decent movie that possibly gets 6.5 stars but the extra 1.5 star for the sterling performance by Sunny Deol.
  • Jeet is One the Best Movies Made By Raj Kanwar One of the Biggest Hits Of 90s Era The Film has Everything Action Little Dramatic Content Rich Theme The Songs

    But What Is The Main Thing is is Sunny Deol's Performance

    One of His Remarkable Performances
  • One of the most best movies produced in India, compared to the year it was made, I really enjoyed the movie because of its beautiful story, it has great appeal and the dedication, sadness and joy are well shown.
  • One can definitely expect nothing but loudness and trash from a movie that stars Sunny Deol, Karishma Kapoor and Salman Khan in the leads. More so if it's directed by Raj Kanwar where one can additionally expect retarded film-making. 'Jeet' is pretty much a retarded remake of 'Muqaddar ka Sikander' (which itself was a mind-numbingly boring movie). This one just has much more dishum dishum, loudness and epileptic seizures than its source. Kajal (Karishma Kapoor) is an amateur dancer who witnesses the beating of a weakling at a market. The beating was carried out by a fat dirty goon (Sunny Deol) who probably never took a shower in his life. A CC (corrupt cop) happily arrests the goon who is later released upon bail by a beautiful harlot (Tabu). The harlot happens to be in love with the goon (only God knows why as there is nothing even remotely appealing about him) but anyway. The goon harasses Kajal and her dad but when Kajal utters some bullcrap he backs off and begins stalking her. She is freaked out but once the goon rescues her from other goons, Kajal is turned on and they fall in love. Goon promises to become ex-goon and just when they decide to get married, a rich idiot (Salman Khab) re-enters Kajal's life and proposes. Kajal's pathetic father obliges her to marry the idiot. Kajal howls and throws tantrums but eventually agrees. The ex-goon is furious and he roars like a bear (he's does that many times in the movie). Kajal moves to Switzerland with her idiot husband and ex-goon becomes a goon again. But when the married couple return to India, Kajal is haunted by the goon.

    As bad as it is, the fast forward option on your remote control comes very handy. I liked the song 'Dil Ka Kya Kare' that was visualized on the beautiful Tabu. She dances very well. The rest of the songs are bad and quite clichéd with the same melodramatic lyrics. Salman and Karishma dance like epileptic cows who got stung on the ass by a swarm of bees. Kapoor also does a couple of shake-the-fart-off moves, especially when dancing with Deol. Sunny dances like a hippopotamus. The acting is expectedly abysmal except for Amrish Puri who plays the villain with a T and Tabu who is good enough except in the final scene. I can see why Juhi Chawla turned down the role of Kajal.

    Except for Tabu's item number and her beauty, I didn't find anything appealing about this silly film. In my books 'Jeet' is a loser.
  • Sunny dialogue delivery and expression made movie superhit salman khan small at that time getup and superstar Sunny deol stardom at peak at that time movie excellent must watch to know Sunny acting skills.
