Sure it's a great movie -- if you don't have a brain! The writers take way too many liberties with the plot. Nothing in this movie is realistic or plausible. Now I know you're probably thinking it's a movie and it's not supposed to be realistic...Give me a break. Of course it's a movie but how would you like it if Superman suddenly started to shoot web out of his wrists. Or Spiderman morphed into the Hulk. Some things just shouldn't happen! There is a scene here where one of the heroines is reading the villains' lips when they're backs are turned towards her. Also when Kader Khan realizes the true identity of who "Don" is, it's just not believable. He couldn't make the connection that fast - if in fact he were to make the connection at all. Also why the hell does Sinha marry Reena Roy? He doesn't love her and I thought that's what Bollywood films are about. On the plus side the actors all deliver for the most part. Amitabh and Rishi Kapoor nail down their roles. Shatrughan Sinha is just - weird. Amjad Khan and Amrish Puri are both really good. Of the woman Hema Malini's easily the best while Kimi Katekar is just horrible. The songs are really good as are the action sequences although the last one is a clear rip-off of the Towering Inferno and goes too long. Some Multi-starrers are made because the director wants to make a great movie (such as Amar Akbar Anthony) while others like this one are made to take your money. Coincidentally both of these movies are made by Manmohan Desai and there are many things about this one that tell you that it was supposed to be a sort of sequel to Amar Akbar Anthony (i.e. Amitabh's drunk scene in front of the mirror, two of the three heros play the same roles they did in the earlier movie, the actor who plays Dabisco also played Dabisco in the first one, Pran's character, the whole three heroes three heroines deal). The film definitely is a good one and I liked it as such ( 6 or 7 out of 10), but it certainly isn't great and didn't deserve to become the top Bollywood film of the 80s. But then again with the quality of Bollywood films you never know.
