I watched this movie when i was 14 years old. At that time i was totally into both Hollywood and bollywood movies and this movie stood out. At that age i felt this was the best movie i've ever watched and quite possibly the best performance by Amitabh. 16 years on, when i watch this movie again, i have to admit that performance by every actor was memorable and i picked that as a teenager. And the dialogues, well i don't want to say anymore because i will start saying them shortly ... yes i remember every single one! I know Kader Khan wrote for most movies he acted in but i never appreciated his work before this movie when he wrote and didn't act in. Even though blockbusters such as Sholay and Deewar were more popular earlier, i don't remember them as well as this. Amitabh's voice in this movie was amazing. I did hear that it was changed as it didn't appeal to certain audiences. However the version i saw and own is simply brilliant.
I didn't know that Mithun got an award for the movie until a few years later. But when i watched the movie in 1990, i felt that this was easily his best performance ever. Mukhul S. Anand has made made some great movies in time and this movie made every actor the greatest.
And the most memorable scene: ummmm what can i say? With great cinematography every scene is memorable and supported by great background music. Just writing this comment and reading what others had to say, has made me want to watch the movie again. The more i watch it, the more i like it.
Those into love stories, bollywood dance, songs and fashion would never understand and appreciate this movie. I've had that experience over the years when i've recommended it to bollywood movie fans. That's probably why it never made it big or should i say bigger.
