Review By Kamal K
The film plays with many masala conventions. Amitabh and Rekha appear as Annu's Punjabi brother-in-law and sister and no one recognises them, Amit directs dialogue at the audience, Shashi flashes a smile at the camera after meeting Annu. There are lots of teasing references to family in the dialogue Amit calling Durga Ma, Vikram calling to threaten the zealous policeman and identifying himself to Kishan as 'tumhara baap', and a whole lot of bromance. Vikram has a very ornate lair replete with design features like a dragon wall decoration and a stuffed tiger although it suffers from some serious design flaws including being above ground and having abundant natural light which isn't really lair-like.
The soundtrack is vintage Laxmikant Pyarelal and their lush big band sound is perfect for both the rollercoaster plot twists and the more intimate moments. The songs are excellent and serve to further the story so are an integral part of the film, and the stars all seemed to have a great time performing them.
