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