Girl power
cohuman8 May 2022
Hema looks too old for this role . She was in her mid 30s by this time . A simple girl changes into a man eating tigress by the end. Shes an innocent middle class girl .Her fathe rAshok Kumar ( adorable in his small role ) is a man of principles. Her wedding gets cancelled due to dowry issues . Confident and proud of herself she refuses to bow down and walks away . A stranger guest at the wedding Raj Babbar helps her and her father out . Later, She searches for a job door to door finally lands a job in Raj's company . Indebted to him thanx to his help in her cancelled marriage , she starts liking him .He receprocates and they get married in a small temple . After consumating their relation , she realises that he is missing . By that time she is pregnent and her father dies of shame in front of a train as her husband is not known to the world . Inncoently she belives Raj is lost some palce and starts searching for him . She meets Pran - a rich predator and moulds herself to his wishes thanx to her friend Aruna Irani's advice. She soon realises that Raj is Pran's son and both are predators looking for preys thanx to their rich social status and money and power. She stands firm and till the end tries to get Raj to accept her status with him . Pran is an innocent party in this game between Hama and Raj. Finally the three villains Yunus Parvez , Pran and Raj get killed . Rajesh Khanna comes as an advocate to defend her in a short role . Aruna and Yunus's story paralelly is poignant . Pran , Yunus , Aruna are likeable in their side roles even as villains . Over all a fine movie about a girl's grit and determination. Raj is perfect as a carefree rich play boy initially then confused about Hema's determination and scared about her grit and finally repentent .

Special appearance with a difference
alokc15 June 2008
Rajesh Khanna has a special role in this revenge vendetta where in he appears in the second half of the movie and then there is no looking back and the movie comes to life due to the acting of the great super star actor. Rajesh Khanna puts life in to this otherwise a mundane run of the mill revenge drama which deals with the harassment of women. Hema Malini plays the central character with her usual style and does not give the movie much life as the script is run of the mill. Raj Babbar and PRan are there too. But life and interest in the movie comes in the last hour when Rajesh Khanna takes over and then performs in this Shibu Mitra movie which has only Rajesh Khanna as a reason to watch the movie.
