from the Pakistani Consulate in Delhi. Her father immediately arranges her flying
to Lahore. Tara Singh and the baby both have to stay back due to their visa formalities
not being completed.

all about India, Tara and her son. Meanwhile, Tara after a long wait, decides to |
|
|
go to Lahore and get his wife back. On reaching Lahore, he faces the wrath of
Sakina's father and her relatives.....

The movie is directed by Anil Sharma, the maker of films
like Elan-e-jung, Hukumat and Maharaja. The music (Uttam Singh) is nothing great. None of
the songs except "Musafir jaanewale" are hummable. The film as a whole can be
said to be belonging to Sunny Deol. His performance is terrific.This movie comes as a
change for him from playing the usual action man. Amisha Patel too gives clear indications
of her talent. Amrish Puri has also done a good job in a negative role. Lillete Dubey is
good as |
|
usual. It would be
unfair not to mention about the writer as most of the credit goes to him for his excellent
recreation of the bygone era.
A must see for everyone..... |
