Rajashekhar's 'Jeene Ki Arzoo' is a classic from the 80's, a fine film. When Indian Cinema was running with Revenge/Violent Dramas, 'Jeene Ki Arzoo' surely stood out for it's innovative story & execution.
No, 'Jeene Ki Arzoo' is not a mind-blowing film, but surely a film that you'll watch & talk about. The makers dared to make a different kind-of film in the time when, as said, only action-packed films worked.
Mithun delivers a sensational performance. The legend has always been a competent actor, and this film once again proves that true fact. Rakesh Roshan is good. Rati & Bindya Goswami are decent in their roles. Jagdeep's comedy track, though completely forced & unwanted, no one can deny that those portions are entertaining & the credit goes to the legendary comedian completely.
A Must Watch for those who thought that Indian Cinema of the 1980's only belonged to Blood and Gore. Reccmended.
