Sunny Deol and RKS together gave 2 back to back hits GHAYAL and DAMINI. GHATAK was started post GHAYAL but released last. The film was in making for 5 years. The film released after Music director RD Burman had passed away(1994), Meenakshi had quit films(this is her last film). The film starts with Om Puri's murder and then Sunny makes an entry in a village where people respect his father Amrish Puri, then Sunny comes to Mumbai for treatment of Amrish Puri, their relationship is treated very well, The scene when Sunny breaks down in Amrish Puri's arms is treated beautifully. The film also tries to be a Sunny Deol type actionner and this time they are 7 brothers of Danny whom Sunny has to finish one by one, going by Sunny's action hero image. Just like GHAYAL this time too the film boasts of several hardhitting dialogues and action packed scenes but the drama between father and son is just the wallpaper. The film would be better as a father and son film alone but RKS thought to pack everything in the film not to disappoint Sunny fans. Must say several scenes are well handled like the interval point, Sunny confronting his brother, Sunny confronting Tinnu Anand and of course Amrish Puri-Sunny Deol scenes But the film does get too lengthy in second half and at times too over-dramatic
Direction by RKS is good but he could've focused more on the emotional aspect Music by RD Burman, Anu Malik is great, Koi Jaahe to Le Aaye was a big hit, Nigaon ne cheda hai is superb too(perhaps Burman composed it)
Sunny Deol sports various hairstyles in the film(as the film was in making for 5 years) but does a great job, as always in RKS films he gives his best especially in dramatic scenes, even in emotional scenes he is terrific Meenakshi Sheshadri doesn't get a lengthy role like DAMINI but does well in her role especially during the preclimax when she shouts Yahaan Koi Mard Nahin Amrish Puri is outstanding in his role and he won the best supporting actor award that year. Danny Danzongpa is good as the villain, Mukesh Rishi is decent, Tinnu Anand is loud while Deep Dhillon is adequate Harish Patel is typecast Om Puri is terrific in a short role, Tinnu Anand, Rohini Hattangady,Anjan Shrivastav and all rest lend able support
