Mera Jawab review :
A precursor to Salman Khan's unreleased Bulund (1992) and Hrithik Roshan's recent hit Kaabil (2017); Mera Jawab had husband avenging his wife's rape by killing the rapists one by one. But unlike Kaabil and Bulund, the couple here is not blind.
Mera Jawab was Jackie - Meenakshi's second film after their super hit Hero (1983) and was highly anticipated by the audience. But the A certificate and excessive violence restricted its universal reach and the film became a average grosser at the ticket windows.
Of the villain trio, Shakti Kapoor left an impression as the gang leader who keeps saying "Baba!!". Gulshan Grover and Shiva Rindani were the sidekicks. By the way, this was Shiva's debut film. Kader Khan played the role of a honest cop for a change..
All in all, a typical maar-dhaad revenge drama of the 80s which appears a bit dated for today. The theme though, is still relevant as is evident from the success of Kaabil.
