Since its first release in 1984,I have watched the movie again and again and yet again,and 14 years since,the movie still manages to create that thrilling impact on me.The songs with pans,flowers and sarees may be considered outdated as compared to present Hindi movies, but still can amaze you with the visual sights. Music by Bappi Lahiri still leaves you craving for more, songs sung beautifully by Kishore Kumar or Lata Mangeshkar leaves you wishing you owner of such voices never have to die or retire and sing for ever.The heart rendering background music that highlights each and every emotion cannot be found in today's movies.And of course comes the performances.Jeetendra has been acting in movies since late 60's and earned the tittle "jumping jack" in the 70's, but it is because of the such movies he played in the 80's that he will be remembered. Sridevi's performance is flawless, and it's no wonder that she was hailed as the queen of bollywood.Jeetendra and Sridevi make the best pair of the 80's. Not only Tohfa, but many other movies they played together like Himmatwala,Mawali,Maqsad were super duper hits.Jaya Pradha as a supporting actress gave a powerful performance, while Kader Khan was at its best not only in acting, but also as writer of the dialog of the movie.Shakti Kapoor, with his tag line"Auu Lalitha" gave a performance which he himself will never match.This movie as an all-time blockbuster.
