Prem Pratigyaa review :
Directed by Bapu and adapted from a Tamil hit, Prem Pratigyaa was a touching romantic drama featuring Mithun Chakraborty and Madhuri Dixit in lead roles. Mithun da was outstanding as the kind hearted goon who mends his ways for the sake of love. His pairing with Madhuri was always successful at the box office - Ilaaka (1989), Mujrim (1989), Prem Pratigyaa and Pyar Ka Devta (1991). Thats a 100% success ratio. Wow! Something La Dixit couldn't achieve with her favorite hero Anil Kapoor also...
Anyway, coming back to Prem Pratigyaa, Madhuri played a 'dabbewali' who is tormented by the local thug Ranjeet. Mithun da saves her 'izzat' and falls in love with her. But then, a rich and educated professor Vinod Mehra enters the frame offering marriage to Madhuri and our poor Mithun da decides to sacrifice his love...
Bapu's direction was competent and Prem Pratigyaa makes for a wholesome family entertainment. I remember seeing the film in its second week at Badal Bijlee, Matunga. It took a slow start at the box office then but picked up through strong word of mouth and ran for a year in Mumbai. Main theatre was Alankar Cinema where it celebrated a jubilee run.
Prem Pratigyaa is one of Mithun Chakraborty's highly underrated performance and his fans just can't afford to miss it. The background tune on his entry itself, will set them clapping...
