A typical action potboiler with some redeeming qualities

Hum Hain Bemisaal is one of the many action films which was completely unnoticed in the 1990s. This action film would have been a complete trainwreck had it not been for some of the performances. If the film has any other noteworthy element, it is emotional core of the story which definitely has its moments.

Deepak Bahry's direction is far from memorable because he has not handled the film effectively. The main problem is the jarring comedy which is completely unnecessary. The main plot would've been much stronger if it was the main focus. Bahry inserts puerile comedy which reduces the film's impact significantly. The film should have been shorter and that would've been possible if these absurd scenes were never used in the first place. Unfortunately, the editing is very mediocre and this has drastically affected the overall film. On the flipside, the film's main premise is entertaining and you definitely feel bad for Micheal. The poor chap only received a great when degree of pain after he loses his mother and his village. In addition, he accidentally blinds an innocent girl in the process. The guilt completely shatters him which is definitely very depressing. However, the comedy dilutes the impact of several noteworthy scenes with Micheal.

Anu Malik's music is mostly bland with several unnecessary songs. However, there is one rare exception and this is "Tujhse Kya Chori Hai". This is a beautiful composition brilliantly crooned by Kumar Sanu and Sadhna Sargam. Action scenes are mostly decent with entertaining hits and kicks. However, Mohra and Sapoot had action which was better choreographed. This film is slightly more violent with a disturbing torture scene. Sunil's Micheal gets a really thrashing from some corrupt cops and it is devastating to say the least.

Sunil Shetty performs his role decently. There is a lot of emotion in Micheal and Sunil manages to express without hamming it up completely. It was nice to watch Sunil enact a role with so much emotion. As usual, Sunil excels in the actions sequences. Akshay Kumar does not get a meaty role like Sunil but he is good as the honest cop. His action scenes are a treat to watch. Pran is good as the wronged father of Micheal. Madhoo is good but Shilpa Shirodkar is wasted in a silly role. Jagdeep is okay but his unwanted comedy irritates. Rami Reddy is menacing despite being expressionless for the most part. The others provide decent support.

On the whole, Hum Hain Bemisaal is an action film which had potential. If the film was better edited, it would've been a better film. The film may have flopped but it is definitely worth a watch for all Sunil Shetty fans. If the film didn't have Sunil Shetty or Akshay Kumar, it would've been a big turkey.
