Kaun Kare Kurbani (1991) was yesteryear director Arjun Hingoani's last film. It featured Dharmendra, Govinda, Anita Raj, Hemant Birje and an unknown actress. The film's plot is concerned with a masked mysterious man raping and murdering numerous beautiful girls. A tough cop (Dharmendra) is assigned the case. He has a personal vendetta against this man, because this same person had raped and killed her sister. He vows to bring the kidnapper to justice. He lives with his wife (Anita Raj), a son, and a collegian brother (Govinda). Govinda is a flirt who spends his time fooling around with girls. Soon Dharmendra gets hold of some evidence which points towards his brother being the killer. He gets caught in a dilemma- whether to arrest him or not.
My opinion about this film is a mixed bag. At places, it managed to scare me. Sometimes it made me cringe like hell, and sometimes it made me laugh. But one good thing here is that Dharmendra isn't shown to be as an invincible hero. He is shown to be vulnerable, which was a bit of a surprise. The monster in the movie was both funny and scary.
Direction by Arjun Hingoani is pretty average. The songs too were mediocre, save for the title track. Talking about the performances, Dharmendra portrays the tough cop role with his usual flair, Anita Raj is ok, Govinda gives a good performance and Hemant Birje is sadly wasted.
On the whole, Kaun Kare Kurbani is a decent fare which can be recommended to people who want some thrills coupled up with cringeworthy moments and unintentional comedy.
