Gaddar is one of the best crime thriller of its time.even at that time such good movies were made in India when most of the movies were masala movies.plot involves that 7 criminals successfully perform a heist. problem arises when one of them turn Gaddar (traitor)and run away with all the looted money.his other 6 accomplices traces him for 1 year and finally come to know that he is hiding in Himachal pradesh,one of the hilly state of India.The group is helped by one small time crook,Raja (played by Vinod khanna) who accidentally comes to know about the secret about heist and demand his share in the looted money in exchange for helping in tracing traitor.as the group reaches there and confront the traitor,circumstances and greed leads to bloodbath,true identity and motive of Raja is also revealed.
Not only the plot but the location of the set of this movie is interesting.most of the film is shooted in snow laden area of himachal pradesh.Background score is also very impressive.Although I am sure that the score has been copied from some old western Italian movie such as the good the bad the ugly,for a few dollars more or The Great silence.the locations also probably inspired by old western classics The great silence.anyway overall the movie is entertaining and performances by the characters is also above the top.if you are looking to see one of the top class Hindi thriller this film is a must watch along with another top Hindi thriller 'INKAAR'
