Pretty good

This is a good Indian film. The movie still holds up well even today, in 2025. There is a convincing and credible rendition of pre-independence India, with the clothing, architecture, and overall vibe. There's good acting by the leads and supporting cast. There's suspense, action, and romance. The songs in this movie are elite-tier. "Pyar Hua Chupke Se" is beautiful: the scene where Manisha encounters the group of men carrying torches is majestic. Some filming locations look so scenic tooA couple issues though: the film's first half is basically a romance; the second half focuses on patriotic freedom-fighting action. Therefore, Manisha Koirala is front and center in the first half, but she fades into the background and becomes forgettable in the second half. Likewise, Jackie Shroff is front and center in the second half, but he is barely there in the first half. The overall effect is that the film feels a little disjointed. Looking at what Jackie Shroff does at the end, I kinda feel that his character, not Anil Kapoor's, should have been the starTypical to a lot of Bollywood movies of this era- the film overdoes it with sentimentality. The romance scenes between Anil Kapoor and Manisha Koirala are syrupy to the point where many viewers may get sick. Anil Kapoor's character gets annoying a few times with his excessively love-stricken lines.Lastly - Jackie Shroff and Danny Denzongpa kinda looked alike to the point where I mistook them for one another at first.8.0/10.

Incredible soundtrack - kya kehna hai

I watched the movie for the songs - ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga, kuch na kaho, pyar hua chupke se. I have listened to them 100s of times before - great lyrics and so melodious.The scenery of a small mountain town is idyllic. The first half of the movie is romance and the songs :) A 90s gem, I miss those dancing around the house and trees!The second half advances the serious krantikari plot. The story line is average, patriotic and over dramatic. There are several likeable characters and a few outright villains - the age of simple black and white world! Characters were developed, such as that of the driver, the mother and others, making it an enjoyable watch too.
