+Aamir Khan’s first starring role prior to his
+breakthrough with Qayamat Se Qayamat
+Tak later in the year. The story, told in
+flashback, focuses on a young man whose
+interior monologue accompanies the film. The
+hero (Khan) helplessly watches his girlfriend
+(Pathak) being gang-raped. To refurbish his
+male pride (the woman’s suffering is trivialised
+in the film), he spends the rest of the film,
+aided by a good cop (Kapoor), avenging the
+slighting of his manhood by the gangster and
+his henchmen responsible for the rape. The
+revenge story is presented as a fatalist
+meditation on ‘meaning of life’. Using closeups,
+flashing lights and throbbing music
+(composed by the rock drummer Ranjit Barot)
+under the dialogue, the film tries to induce the
+viewer to wallow in the choreography of
+violence.
