Pyar Ke Naam Qurban

Pyar Ke Naam Qurbaan is one of Babbar Subhash's many collaborations with Mithun Chakraborty. The latter used to play different versions of his consummate hero persona in all these films. Here he is the same as in other films except his job is that of a motor mechanic, and he is as charismatic as he always is. This film is not among the best of these pictures, but it's enjoyable, and it pairs him up with one of the big leading ladies of the era, Dimple Kapadia. Kapadia plays a rather unusual role, that of a tough, arrogant and cruel princess, and she overplays her cruelty but is extraordinarily good looking. The love-to-hate relationship between the two is quite fun, while through the characters of Dimple's brother (Danny Denzongpa) and Mithun's boss (Mandakini) we get to see some pretty harrowing portions which are much less so. Mithun and Dimple make for a nice couple, Denzongpa is the typical villain, while Mandakini, who was Mithun's leading lady in previous films, is now relegated to a supporting role shortly before she retires from Hindi cinema. Her role is ends up having most of the viewers' sympathy. The later sequences are full of action for those who like it. The film's music is quite nice - the title track in particular is beautiful, much more than the film, which is watchable but naturally nothing to write home about.
