+Nihalani returned to his familiar 80s genre (cf.
+Ardh Satya, 1983) of the fast-paced political
+thriller with this story about terrorist
+movements in Northern India. Abhay Singh
+(O. Puri), the emotionally insecure head of an
+elite anti-terrorist squad operating in a terrain
+made to resemble 1980s/90s Kashmir, sends
+two insurgents to infiltrate the terrorist group
+led by Commander Bhadra (Vidyarthi). Bhadra
+is captured and, for much of the film, matches
+wits with Singh using knowledge provided to
+him by his own informers within the police.
+When Singh’s own senior officer (A. Puri)
+commits suicide after being revealed as a
+terrorist informer, Singh breaks down and turns
+informer to save his wife (Vasisth) and child
+from the all-pervasive terrorist menace. In the
+end he kills Bhadra, and succeeds at the cost
+ofhis own life in placing his own man (Gunaji)
+at the head of the terrorist gang. The rapid
+editing, extended use of close-up and tight
+dramatic control - Nihalani’s hallmark -
+dominate the long and tortuous story.
