I really enjoyed this movie!! Dimple Kapadia plays the eternal spider woman with a vengeful agenda quite beautifully here. She loses the love of her life, Rajiv Kapoor, to the aristocratic and narcissistic Raj Babbar who cannot stand to see anyone keep him from getting what he wants, but eventually realizes that a human being, and a woman in particular, is not just another commodity that you can win over, by hook or by crook. All actors do justice to their respective roles, Dimple impresses with her subtle, understated burning style of acting, while Raj Babbar could easily come across as an evil Count type character, drunk high on his own power and wealth, meeting an untimely demise at the end due to some cunning planning by Dimple. Rajiv Kapoor does justice to his role as a beat down, middle class lover boy who comes back to life to search for the love of his life and get some redemption at the end. An enjoyable watch for spending some quality time with vintage 80s Bollywood.
