Strained father son relation ship depiction is a very difficult task and the work demands imaginative and sensitive writing. Sadly tthe writing in his film does not rise to the demand. Salim Javed could have done a lot better in the sketching of the father son characters.
Dilipkumar impresses more than Amitabh in terms of character depiction.
Ramesh Sippy is one hell of a director who in this film, and later too in his career, has been let down by his writers.
