This is one of those films which is both comedy and tragedy at the same time. Its contents are funny and ending is tragedy, which of course remains non influential because of it's heavy comic theme. It's sarcastic and I would say it's the best among many such attempts from Bollywood, a satirical in the sense that reality is voiced through comic themes. The acting is natural, comic performance flowing naturally from the casts esp, Nasiruddin Shah and Pankaj Kapoor. Other casts are well done fully support the comic set up of the film. The script logically advances, without much spicy themes and BGM doesn't shadows the narratives which is impressive.
The characters are all believable. The plot is about a few good honest guys clashing with a few dishonest bad guys and in a series of funny circumstances a climax is reached, which is good guys are finally the bad ones and bad one are finally good. The corrupt guys working parallel with intelligent antagony and how they all selfishly turned things towards their benefit is strongly shown. The depiction that media is not to be trusted and lie in the line of corrupt world is impressive, considering it's 80s. The journey is hilarious but with a strong pessimistic message at the end. My favorite scene is - Aapne kabhi kisi ko mara hai ? Park me ? Jhariyo ki pise ? That's still funny.
The acting are dramatized but a few flows naturally. Why is this sarcastic ? It's because I believe it showed the victory of the liars persecuting the innocent but in a satirical way. Naseeruddin confronting Pankaj Kapoor about murdering is one of the best comedy scenes in the film, among many like the bomb scene, the Kurukshetra scene etc. Under pessimism this is a classic film with a little bit of suspense flavor spreading all upon the film. Om puri is nuetral, a drunkard role, with BGM retaining the suspense flavour throughout. A special and convincingly comic film from 80s. A must watch for Bollywood fans out there. A 9/10. A 94 on a scale of 100.
