| 13 | Bhatt turns the plot of James Clavell’s To Sir |
| 14 | With Love (1967) into an action drama. The |
| 15 | saintly college lecturer Professor Verma (Shah) |
| 16 | takes on two gangsters, Jimmy (Grover) and |
| 17 | Velji (Rawal), in order to support his students, |
| 18 | particularly Pooja (Bhatt), Velji’s daughter. |
| 19 | Verma’s infant son had been killed in a random |
| 20 | drive-by shooting and now he first cures Pooja |
| 21 | of her stammering - caused by the trauma of |
| 22 | watching her mother commit suicide - and then |
| 23 | offers his protection when Pooja and another |
| 24 | student, Karan (Agnihotri), want to marry. The |
| 25 | action features much gang rivalry as Jimmy |
| 26 | tries to abduct Pooja in revenge for Velji’s |
| 27 | murder of Jimmy’s brother. Bhatt manages the |
| 28 | shift from melodrama to action movie with an |
| 29 | impressive control over narrative momentum |
| 30 | and pace. |
