Disclaimer first: I got this interesting piece only in a Russian-dubbed version,of which I understood an occasional word or two, so I can't comment on the dialogs.
As the title strongly indicates, you get a bigger share of song & dance items (mostly 1980s disco music) than usual in Bollies. But given that most protagonists do singing and dancing for a living, they fit in quite naturally, and add to humor (I liked the sabotage of a Lions' Club classical music event best, the Xmas party less so) or drama.
And drama there is aplenty. A mother abducted, and fleeing to the woods, brother and sister growing up as orphans, doing song & dance for a living. Both marry, and go through different fates, in which (stylized) alcoholism plays no small role.
Then there is the super-bad guy (who looks his role exceedingly well) and his motorcycle gang... All in all, a strong emotional piece, which in the end left me with a good feeling. Not a must-see, but certainly not a bad experience if you can get hold of it.

Disco & high drama
Music & Dance Works...
Dance Dance Directed By Babbar Subhash is A Musical Drama . Direction is Good To Below Average. Screenplay is Fine in First Half. Second Half is Stretched With Lots Of Melodrama. Editing & Choreography is OK. Movie Only Works On Music & Dance Rest is Plain Crap.
Radha(Smita Patil) & Ramu(Mithun Chakraborty) Are Siblings. They Are Upcoming Singers. They Get Chance To Perform . They Finally Achieve The Fame & Success.
Radha Loves Resham(Shakti Kapoor) A Group Member. Resham With The Influence Of A.M Singh(Amrish Puri) Decides To Bring Down Romeo(Ramu). He Abuses Radha. Meanwhile Ramu Falls in Love With Janita(Mandakini). After He Acknowledge About Radha's Condition. He is Depressed And Takes Alcohol. Now Melodrama Starts And Ends With The Movie.
Acting Wise Mithun & Smita Patil Did Better Than Others. Dance by Mithun & Mandakini is Praiseworthy. Amrish Puri, Dalip Tahil & Shakti Kapoor Are Good.
Music By Bappi Lahiri is Good. Super Dancer By Alisha Chinai & Bappi Lahiri is Best Of The Lot. Most Of The Songs Are Dance Numbers.Themes From Chariots Of Fire and Star Wars Feature is Incidental Music. Must Watch For Mithun Fans.
