A True Epic
Probably the least absorbing of all of JP Dutta's early films. I think the movie slightly suffers because of the age and status of his 2 main protagonists, Dharmendra and Vinod Khanna. JP should have gove for Sunny Doel and Anil Kapoor for their respective roles. Otherwise, the film as quite brilliant in dramatic terms. Like all his films, technically it is almost flawless. The performances are excellent. The movie deals with the growing tension between the land owners and the tenants prior to the British leaving. A must for Bollywood film lovers.
