+Spectacular Arabian Nights revenge fantasy set
+in a vaguely identifiable Middle East and
+deploying the exoticism associated with
+Spielberg’s adventure films. The shah’s General
+Khalid (Dharmendra) thwarts the coup for the
+throne attempted by Razaulli (Puri). Razaulli
+kidnaps Khalid and his pregnant wife on their
+way to the hospital. Khalid’s wife dies in
+childbirth and Razaulli proclaims Khalid’s son
+as his own, swapping the infant for his stillborn
+daughter. Khalid remarries and has another
+son, Samir (Karan Kapoor), whom he sends
+abroad vowing never to set eyes on him until
+Khalid has avenged the death of his first wife.
+Razaulli’s secretly adopted son Sultan (Deol)
+grows up and falls in love with the shah’s
+daughter, Princess Yasmin (Sridevi). In a
+complicated denouement, Khalid kills Razaulli
+and recalls Samir; Shakkir, an ambitious vassal,
+kills the shah and intercepts the returning
+Samir and emprisons him. Khalid is taken
+prisoner by Sultan and they engage in a bloody
+duel till Razaulli’s wife tells them that Khalid is
+Sultan’s real father. Khalid, Sultan and Samir
+then kill Shakkir. Only then can Khalid die in
+peace surrounded by his sons. Anand does not
+shrink from spectacular anachronisms which
+have become his trademark (cf. his Khuda
+Gawah, 1992), as he mixes contemporary
+scenes into this commercially unsuccessful
+period movie tale.
