Sunny Deol had a brilliant mid 90s period giving back to back hits despite one disaster Ajay. He gave a string of hits like Ghatak, Jeet,Border,and Ziddi. Jeet was one of his best films in the 90s period and it is also where the director makes good use of Sunny's acting. It's also a surprise that Nadiadwala would produce a brilliant film like this, because their banner always produces good films(not great).
The story of the film is quite simple but it is the handling that deserves an applause. The movie exploits themes like sacrifice and loss which is brilliantly portrayed and directed in this film. Kajal and Karan's love story sacrificed for Kajal's dad's sake is quite typical but it is brilliantly showed. Salman Khan's promise to destroy his father and his uncle's criminal empire makes sense. The whole fear Karishma has that Sunny wants to kill Salman and get her back is well portrayed. The team up and a long battle in the end is also well shown. However, the ending is extremely sad. It sucks how Sunny Deol's character dies to save Salman but it's good how they Honor Deol after his death.
Direction by Raj Kanwar is fabulous, he handles the entire film properly despite a few boring initial moments. The Salman-Karishma love story is boring yet funny. The Salman-Sunny confrontation and the climax is good. The Sunny-Karishma love story is better and the theme loss is brilliantly shown. Raj Kanwar sure knows how to turn a routine romantic action film into a decent one.
Sunny Deol is the USP of the film, his expressions, his wide eyed look, and his action is brilliantly portrayed. He steals the show and this film was one of his biggest hits after Ghayal. Salman Khan does a good job, his serious act is good but his comedy is not as good as his other films like Judwaa. Karishma Kapoor does a good job and this is one of her first films where she excels. Instead of shrieking in an irritating manner, she acts. Alok Nath has little to do but he leaves a mark. Amrish Puri is getting typecast now however, he handles the villain act well. Other villains like Mohan Joshi and Deepak Shirke do an average job, they are extremely typecast. The rest provide decent support and are functional.
On the whole, Jeet is a fantastic films with barely any flaws. There are a few clichés but that is forgiven because this is one awesome flick for a mid 90s movie.
