![]() ![]() Kader Khan makes a decent villain though he has done such roles many times. Neelam is good but her crying is irritating and her getting brutally murdered is just upsetting. Jaya Prada is decent but doesn't have a meaty role, this is one of her shorter roles.Kumar Gaurav plays the stereotypical romantic hero ably and he does a decent job, his death scene works because he doesn't overact. ![]() This performance is good but still not as good as the one from Agneepath and Hum where he gave power packed performances. Amitabh Bachchan performs well and his expressions are decent, this is one of his decent performances from the 90s period where most of his performances were average. What doesn't work is the unnecessary torture scene which slows the film completely and it sucks to watch Amitabh crippled and unable to drink tea. The dialogues are impressive in parts, corny in parts. The flashback of Amitabh and Jaya wasn't required but it does reveal an important part of the story nearing the end of the flashback. Direction by K.V Raju is mediocre, he handles some scenes extremely well and the action sequences support the film but the pace of the film drops and the melodrama ruins the film in those parts. He is released and he swears to kill the culprits one by one, that is the rest of the story. When Amitabh tries to take legal action(after his retirement), he gets arrested and tortured. ![]() They get married but both get killed by Kader's son and his 3 friends. The first half of the film does contain action sequences but the main focus is one the love story of Neelam and Kumar Gaurav and how they get Bachchan to agree to this relationship. He has a daughter Neelam who is in love and wants to marry Kumar Gaurav. The film tells the story of sincere cop Indrajeet who has always maintained a personal enmity with the politician Kader Khan and corrupt officer Sadashiv Amrapukar. Otherwise, this is a typical movie which might have worked in the 80s if not the 70s. Indrajeet was a box office flop and only works because of Bachchan's performance. Indrajeet(1991) came at a time when Bachchan only had Hum and Agneepath to his credit, Aaj Ka Arjun was an ordinary hit which was panned by critics. ![]() When actors like Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, Salman Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan were rising, Amitabh was failing and this was one of his career low points, sadly he couldn't recover till 2000. His comeback films like Mrityudaata(1997) failed badly and other films like Lal Baadshah flopped as well. His career was sinking and people thought he wouldn't recover. The 90s period was an awful time for Amitabh Bachchan, even if he got a few hits, it was flops for him mostly. ![]()
