Aakhri Baazi review :
Loosely adapted from Subhash Ghai's Vidhaata (1982), Aakhri Baazi had Shatrughan Sinha, Govinda and Kunal Goswami in action mode against Sadashiv Amrapurkar. Shotgun Sinha played a coolie turned don à la Deewaar (1975) who provides high education to bro Govinda and keeps him away from his shady business.
The pretty Mandakini, cast opposite Govinda, wore a blonde wig and almost resembled a barbie doll in one of the songs. Sonam had nothing to do except one song with Kunal.
A Shakti Samanta production directed by his son Ashim, Aakhri Baazi offered nothing new in terms of content or execution and naturally, bombed at the box office. I hear that its Bengali version fared better though.
