Following the assassination of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the Prime Minister of India, at the hands of her Sikh bodyguards, a wave of violence broke out against innocent Sikhs and their families. Pressure was also brought on the police to bring the assassins and their allies to justice. The police, with their limited resources, and the lack of any witnesses, brutally brought in innocent Sikh men and women, and aggressively interrogated them with third degree methods. This created a wave of sympathy for the extremists, and more people started joining them to revolt against an oppressive regime. This story is of one such family, consisting of Veerandra (Tabu), her brother Jaswant Singh or Jassi (Raj Zutshi), and her mom. One day Inspector Vohra (Kanwaljeet) comes to their house with a police escort to find out the whereabouts of Jimmy or Jaimal (Jasjit Shergill). Jassi playfully introduces the police party to his pet dog Jimmy, and is taken away for questioning. He returns several days later, bleeding and badly wounded. Veerandra's boyfriend Kripal Singh or Pali (Chandrachur Singh) vows to avenge Jassi's beating and joins up with Commander (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) and Sanataan (Om Puri), both hardcore extremists.

| User ReviewVikram Tevery bit was just perfect.esp the songs in here. i feel very nostelgic when i hear them |
| User ReviewPrivate UA great movie. This is one of the best movies to EVER come out of India. |
| User ReviewSami QThat's the way to make movies... the Gulzar way. Since this movie, i have never seen Chandrachur singh acting so well, Vishal Bhardwaj giving such soothing music or Jimmy Shergill putting so decent a show. Om Puri steals the show in his negative role. brilliant story! |
| User ReviewNishit KBased on 1984 Sikh riots , Directed by gulzar movie highly engrossed with suspense and thrill but lacks in depth of plot and climax.Well Played by Chandchur and Om Puri and direction & music well ahead of that time, gulzar has delivered you a good package that is still fresh to see now. |
| User ReviewPavan RSuperb movie ! A great portrayal of the the common man becoming a terrorist...with good performances and some good soundtrack ! |
| User ReviewKarmjit S"Thin lines".... Gulzaar Saab is a man of micro and he digs and extracts from within, presents it boldly, mostly the real-life stories, reeled so amazingly. And what lyrics and what emoting experience! And, this heavenly Lata... mostly she emotes else she gives you shivers and make you cry. Maachis! |
