<PERSON>
Over the top, campy, silly, kitschy, dated, and cheesy even by the standards of an 80s Bollywood mainstream hit, but possessed of the sort of absolute sincerity and conviction that papers over those sorts of issues, the same sort of winingly guileless commitment to its own reality as, say, Rocky IV or a one of those high-school sports animes where the regional lacrosse game for some reason has life-or-death stakes.
Really catchy soundtrack, adequate performances, and lots of fun use of color, too.
More than any of that, though, the baddies having both <PERSON> and <PERSON> as their heavies also makes this kind of goon!Sholay or henchman!RRR, which I just loved. Would unironically watch a three hour movie starring the two of them as a pair of buddy thugs.
Thanks to <PERSON> for recommending this as my 400th Indian film, it was exactly what I was in the mood for today. 223
