Naseeruddin Shah in his hey days, Parveen Babi at her good-looking best, and Rakhee as usual in her decent silk saris, husky voice and controlled expressions, this movie would have turned out much better,and memorable,if scripted and directed differently. First of all , it seems unusual that a fun-loving and fashionable young woman like Sapna would fall for a vulnerable and straightforward guy like the one enacted by Shah. Makes a very odd pair indeed. Some dialogs are quite sensitive and carefully written, whereas the rest are not up to the mark,like Sapna chatting with her college friends etc. Though all three of them have tried to give their best, Naseeruddin is however not so impressive like in his other movies. Rakhee is good,and so also Parveen,playing a different role than her usual ones. Does the movie give a message,that no matter what ups and downs come in the relationships,true love always wins over ? But ,then,it is Rakhee's large heart,which forgives and forgets the escapades of her former husband, and makes a happy ending, but not so happy for Sapna,who would carry a tag of a divorcée unnecessarily.
Too bad for her, and for the audience too,who are left confused,as to what exactly is the social message that the movie wants to give. This movie lacks the depth of a strong plot line, careful editing or the intricacies of the intimate relationship of husband and wife, and becomes monotonous in a way , with lack of any strong situations or events. Could have been a two-act play instead. i ,however, liked Naseeruddin in that scene ,watching his wife dancing with the other guy,and then walking away.. Wasted talents, and a good theme,otherwise.
