Warning: POTENTIAL SPOILERS
Verma Films Combines> KROADH is an action packed thriller, as the title suggess. The film revolves around a polive officer, who, is a frenzy of unabated anger, murders a villain>s sidekick and is thus assigned to imprisonment Consequently, in a bod to beg for the life of her husband, the wife ends up, asking for the possible release of her husband, at the villan>s place only to be brutally murdered by him. All this leaves the couple>s sons destitutes who, on growing up, seek their parents> revenge with the younger among them, in the climax, losing his life. The film has some interestingly etched-out moments with the confrotations between both the brothers touching the viewers> heart, taking into consideratin the situation in which each is. Action, too is good, though in abundance, and the sequence where Sunjy Dutt chases the villain>s henchman with a stark-naked sword on the streets, having a voilent impact. First half of the film is comparitively weaker than the second half, which gather pace. Performance - wise, Sunjay Dutt consolidates his screen presence and gives a commendable performance as the underworld kingpin. Sunny Deol shines once again. Amrita Singh is passable. Sonam is wasted. Anupam Kher holds attention. Rohini Hattangadi, in a brief role, has less scope. Pallave Joshi does her bit well. Yeshwant Dutt, as the pervert villain, underplays his character to a great extent and manages to bring out subtle villainy in his portragal. Amitabh Bachchan, in a special apperance, is in the film for a song and to enhance the credits of the film. VikramGokhale, aslo in a special apperance, is averae. Paresh Rawal has no scope. Anang Desai impresses with his dialogue delivery and sincerity. Jagdeep, Tinnu Verma with the rest of the cast lend, as expeced, support. Production values are of high standard. Technically, good Musically, a big let-down. Dialogue are in keeping with the mood of the film. Action by Pappu Verma has punch. Photography is smooth. Direction by K.Sashi Laal Nair is good in patches.
