Standout Aspects

Acting

Rajinikanth's cigarette flick deserves its own credit.

Stunts

Pre-CGI action that defies physics and common sense.

Jeetendra's police uniform somehow gets tighter each scene.

Best for:Friends: Bond over Rajinikanth's unmatched screen presence.·Rewatch: Spot which scene rips off which Hollywood film.·Solo: Late night cult classic appreciation session.
Heads up:Violence: Relentless 80s action with bloody revenge killings.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was one of Rajinikanth's rare Hindi-language leads before he became exclusively Tamil cinema's biggest star.

Cultural

The film directly lifts action sequences from 'Sholay' and Hollywood westerns, typical of 80s Bombay cinema's magpie approach.
