Akshay and Saif were first paired in MOHRA and MAIN KHILADI TU ANARI in 1994 both worked well and there were hailed the next hit pairing. In 1996 their pairing was repeated in flop Tu Chor Main Sipahi and then KEEMAT tried to recreate their jodi since MKTA by the same director Sameer Malkan alongwith hoties like Sonali and Raveena however all turned into another fiasco. That time Akshay and Saif were going through a bad phase in their careers, Akshay was giving a series of flops after Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi(1996) while Saif too was giving flops. Keemat released on April 10, 1998 few months before the next flop of Akshay and Raveena(Barood). KEEMAT starts off with both robbers Akshay and Saif robbing people, which leads to death of Ravi Kissan and then they amend things by coming to a village to amend things, they meet Ravi's father Anupam Kher and family. The film then enters into the SHOLAY, KARMA mould where this 2 have to settle scores with the villain, long haired Dalip Tahil and a weird Shakti Kapoor. The film has some weird romance and comedy scenes, which were famous in 90s and the film ends in a typical fashion
Direction is okay Music is decent, Koi Nahi(rehash of Catmando song) is decent while De Diya and other songs are good Akshay Kumar has inconsistent looks(maybe he had a haircut) like in most of his late 90's films and he does a decent job in his usual role Saif too entertains but their jodi failed to create the same impact of before. Sonali and Raveena are the heroines. Dalip Tahil is good in the villain role, Shakti Kapoor provides some laughs(unintentional and intentional) Johny Lever has a cameo.Anupam Kher is as usual
