It is an impressive effort from the writer Jainendra Jain but the real attraction of the movie is the performance of the protagonist Shatrughna Sinha. The whole movie is based on his agony and revenge to his wife's murder. He has proved again that he is not less that any successful concomitant actors of his era. Shashi Kapoor is very effective and when both Shashi and Shatru are on screen it looks like a clash of titans. Shashi, a relentless king, is not ready to sacrifice his son despite his heinous deed. The director has successfully shown Shashi's Father-King dilemma. Mazhar Khan is natural and Zeenat Aman's role is ordinary and rest of the cast is supportive.
Overall an underrated/unhyped movie but a good one to catch. Brilliant performances and a good story is what makes it a must watch.
