If you grew up reading James Hadley Chase and his prototype stories of the not so bad (but not good) protagonists, who always fell for the wrong woman, tried to make it big, but things went wrong in a very bad way – then this is a must watch for you! I am still stunned by the sheer quality, charisma and entertainment of this film. Dharam was Garam, Neil does a credible job as a heart-throb and the film probably shows him at his best, even Rimi Sen was competent.
Dharam made me so nostalgic for the 70s – “It is not about age but mileage” LOL!!! I liked Rasika, Govind Namdeo, Zakir Hussain – in fact it is safe to say that no one turned in a bad performance. Neil Mukesh is one to watch out for – best when he played the innocent, but also great when he was the schemer. The new man about town was certainly Neil Nitin Mukesh after this film, too bad he has squandered most of that capital on lesser films and in lesser roles.

This was a good thriller. This also shows that it is not difficult to make a decent thriller.
ReplyDelete@ khanbadosh but its Sriram Raghavan a really good director for such films . there have been so good thrillers it looks its really hard to make decent one in India . also Songs break continuity in thrillers . there is no need for one in 99% of them
ReplyDeleteSriram made 2 great thrillers, he seems to be a genius at this genre. In his films songs seems to mesh well with the story and keep it moving.
