    Action all the way
    This action packed movie has excellent performance by Rajesh Khanna and he fights his way with the gang of Amrish Puri. He is supported by 3 heroines but it is a Rajesh Khanna movie all the way. Shabna Azmi, Zeenat Aman and Parveen Babi are there, Mithunda is there too for some action sequences but all of them get overshadowed by the towering performance of Rajesh Khanna the super star. The music by R D Burman is above average and the direction is perfect. May be the length of the movie could have been reduced. Other wise it is a must see for all action movie lovers and they will see a different Rajesh Khanna in it. His role of a police officer later on dismissed and then getting physically unfit is worth a watch. It is available on DVD and one must spend time seeing this movie.
