Dost

Yes, and I'm quite a fan of Mithun Chakraborty, one of the great actors of Indian cinema in my book, and obviously a big star in his own right. The good thing is that his fans can pick from a vast list of films in the long filmography of this very prolific actor. And it's therefore highly understandable how this poor film is forgotten. Being a fan myself I can say that even though the film is not up to the mark and even a little bad, it could be partially enjoyable for Mithun fans and can be watched once. It is the kind of regular masala film which, when taken for what it is, might make for a nice watch.

The film repeats many of the regular cliches, including ridiculous action, exaggerated melodrama, and some tedious attempts at comedy, although the comedy is by Asrani and Kader Khan, who are very very good. Indeed, when seen in the right context, it really cab be fun. It also has a villain in the form of Amjad Khan and all these stereotypical characters surround Bollywood's age-old obsession with elephants, which is amusingly repetitive but forgivable. Among the redeeming elements, R. D. Burman is the composer, so you can imagine the good stuff coming. "Dil To Chahe Yeh Hamara" tops them all.
