Insaaf Apne Lahoo Se

Insaaf Apne Lahoo Se review :

Started in 1987, Insaaf Apne Lahoo Se was a delayed project which saw light of the day only in 1994 after Sanjay Dutt became hot property post his arrest in the 1993 Bombay bomb blasts case. Subhash Ghai's Khalnayak (1993) had already become a blockbuster around the same time and this film clearly tried to cash in on the stars immense popularity.

A lost and found revenge drama; Insaaf Apne Lahoo Se wasnt a bad film for the '80s when it was majorly shot but its delayed release made it appear dated particularly Sanju Baba's hairstyle and looks keep changing in practically every scene. The two heroines - Farha Naaz and Sonam - had quit films by then and fellow co-star Shatrughan Sinha had practically no box office clout left.

The film has the popular Hassan Jahangir song "Hawa Hawa Ae Hawa" which was a rage in the 80s and was copied in quite a few Bollywood films before.

In a significant departure from her image, veteran actor Beena played a sexy vixen who seduces the much married Kulbhushan Kharbanda and sleeps with him. Later, she tries to seduce his step beta Shotgun Sinha as well. Kader Khan played the main villain while Gulshan Grover played his foreign returned nikamma beta - a character he repeated in Ajay Devgan's Vijaypath (1994).

I had seen this film at Citylight cinema, Mahim which had recently opened after renovation that time and the crowd was cheering loudly everytime Sanju Baba appeared on screen.
