rating: 9 out of 10
- "...the film has a lot of good performances from the multi-star
cast but only Sunil Dutt stands out as he has the main role. Feroz
Khan also does his part well, and the rest consisting of Kabir
Bedi, Sanjay Khan, Anil Dhavan, and Vinod Mehra
do their part well also."

- "...you want to take that girl aside and say, "there are plenty of
snakes
in the jungle, dear. Get over it." |
