Dull and boring. Nasir Husain disappointed me

[ParagDesh · 3/10 · 30 December 2016]

I respect the name Nasir Husain when it comes to entertainment. Starting with Tumsa Nahin Dekha, Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai, Teesri Manzil, Pyar Ka Mausam, Caravan, Yadon Ki Baraat, it's a big list of great movies directed and written by him. But this movie despite being directed by the maestro, is very disappointing. The story is not very gripping or convincing, acting is bad. Sunny Deol and Dimple are really bad. Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Danny, Tariq are also very so-so. The songs are not up to the mark. Nasir Husain movies were legendary for the amazing music but not this. Talented RD Burman failed to make any impact here.

An old friend Gautam (Danny) of Malhotra (KulbhushanK) helps him to start a factory and mysteriously vanishes. And then Malhotra is weeping for his long lost friend. However, how come Gautam has no relatives? How come when Malhotra publishes ads after ads in newspapers, Gautam's wife and son don't see those ads? There is no explanation for any of this. How does Das (Prem Chopra), a big villain, wanted by cops become friends with a shrewd businessman like Malhotra? No explanation. Comic relief is pathetic. It's no wonder that this movie flopped at the box office.

Good

After the success of Betaab and flop Sunny, Deol moves on to his next romantic flick which is not that different from Sunny. This movie Manzil Manzil, was sadly a flop because it wasn't supposed to be one. The movie is made well, the romantic scenes are overdone with too much emotions which is OK but gets annoying at times. However, the part where Dimple losses her memory is badly shown and the action part of the movie is clichéd. Honestly, no Sunny Deol action movie before Arjun(1985) did good and was clichéd. Offcourse Betaab has its moments but it was also clichéd. The story itself has plot holes all over but still is well handled by veteran director Nasir Hussian. However, the overdue of songs,romance, sorrow, and bits of comedy was badly shown. But, this movie is from the early 80's so its OK. However, the movie can definitely do better. Amongst Actors, Deol repeats his good act from Sunny, Dimple in one of her first movies proves she can act, Prem Chopra is good, supporting cast is OK. Music is average, too many songs. The idea of adding action and suspense wasn't a good idea but it's okay. Overall, another decent movie but sadly it flopped.
