I first saw this in a theater in the late 90s.
Revisited it recently.
The film is an unofficial remake of On the Waterfront.
While this one aint no masterpiece like the original, it has lots of action n thrilling moments.
The most iconic one is the train sequence. The final showdown between the hero n the villain is a solid one too.
The performance by the lead actor Aamir Khan is the highlight. Rani Mukherjee looked stunning throughout n very nice in the last scene with her black tshirt.
Deepak Tijori's sideburns n his jacket is a big lol.
The film does have its flaws.
The boxing match looked clearly rigged n not at all an official championship one.
One of the fighter is not landing punches or defending himself but jus stayingin in one place, hands behind the rope n suffering punches by the opponent.
The house/bldg doesn't have any safety hedge or any grill around.
The jackets worn by the bikers are pathetic. Some of the side characters who played the bikers looked uncles n not at all youngsters.
Siddhu, a tearaway and ned, is a boxing champion. His elder brother is the accountant and henchman for a slumlord. The slumlord is a former boxing champion who rules the local community by terrorising people, extorting money from local shopkeepers n hoteliers n sometimes by match fixing.
Siddhu convinces a social worker who reminds him of his dead father, into an ambush, preventing the social worker from persuading the local people to sign a police complain against the slumlord. Siddhu assumed that the slumlord's henchmen were only going to have a talk with the social worker to pressure him into not
convincing the local people to file a police complain against the slumlord but is shocked when the social worker is killed.
