After blockbuster Khalnayak(1993), Dutt went to jail for arms smuggling and all his films from 1993-1997 were flops except Aatish. Zamana Se Kya Darna is another routine film which follows the same aspects of other bollywood movies. Its like this, Bolly films that can't copy Holly copy other Bolly films. This movie too comes across spereation of family because of villains, become wealthy over time, long lost family members meet near the climax. The film is basically something which has been repeated for centuries. The screenplay is definitely not original(still not that bad), the climax was one of the only good parts of the film because it solves the problems that have been annoying to Dutt. It's not nice to always call even the not so good movies bad, but this movie is not in that position. It can be rather reffered to as an average flick. However, some scenes like Shakti's becoming cunning and knowning the truth is really weird. But, the film does not slow down and Dutt at the end beats up the bad people. The film is definitely not worth watching because it bores until the twist point but if your a die hard fan of Dutt and you don't complain as often as many people do, it's a movie for you. However, it is an average film that flopped during the time.

Watch it for the lead pair
eureqa10 May 2021
In terms of story Zamane Se Kya Darna (ZSKD) is a rehash of Reena Roy's Sanam Teri Kasam, that released 12 years earlier.
While Anand Milind's music is not of the same level as RD Burman's track in Sanam...most of the songs are still hummable, Aankhon Se Hum Baatein and Maine Tujhe in particular.
The paralysis of ideation and thought in Bollywood is blatantly visible when you see Guddi Maruti playing Raveena's friend, the actress having played the Reena's friend in Sanam Teri Kasam a dozen years earlier.
That said, what works for ZSKD is the lead pair.
Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon make for a classy, extremely good looking and perfectly well-matched couple - a rarity in Bollywood films. This is one pair that deserved more films than they eventually appeared in.
It is their crackling chemistry that makes ZSKD an interesting watch.
Dutt was the No.1 star at the time this film released, in fact at the peak of his career, and his star power ensured this film made good money. Though not a huge hit it made a lot more than the amount invested in making it, and was not a flop as many are quick to label a film that is not a big hit.
