I see everyone is gushing over the climax, but hardly anyone is mentioning how excellent the build-up has been, particularly in the first half. However, the second half has clearly found it difficult to find its footing, and this is where the momentum drastically dropped as the inescapable expository instruments took precedence over the previous course of action.
This was the segment I had issues with (I disliked the love track between Vinod & Malini; it felt like a trifling, pitiful attempt to plot a secondary sub-plot), thankfully, the grand finale commences soon after and concluding moments seemed to have paid off its dividends and delivered what could be regarded as one unexpected yet convincing closure. That not only tends to shock and captivate but also propagates a lasting impact!
