This movie was released in the 80's in an era when typically all Hindi movies were characteristically made with more or less similar story line spiced with standard ingredients.
However this movie stood out as a very bold essay of the lives of ordinary individuals with a rude reminder to all Indians about the challenges of life which a contemporary society hurls at us.
Pretty much in contrast to the fairy tale and fantasies that Hindi movies are generally made of.
The story line is a strong expression of a tragic irony where 4 well meaning youths end up as perpetrators of heinous crime and one young girl kills herself, all in the pursuit of justice when the state fails to act towards restoring parity. The movie unfurls the instinctive reaction of human nature when your aspirations are suppressed and your honesty is stubbed.
This movie did surely reflect upon instances,circumstances, struggles and frustration which perhaps every Indian would have encountered at least once in his lifetime.
