Another Bollywood potboiler of the 1970s that has two brothers separate as kids, though the difference they're not blood brothers. It treads familiar ground, has the usual coincidences you find in these type of film, but it is expected. It's diverting enough, has enough action and plot twists to keep you in your seat.

Shatrughan Sinha and Danny work well together, but it's Ajit - the Vincent Price of Bollywood- who steals the scene as the criminal who stoops low enough to get his revenge on the man who put him behind bars.
