Mahesh Bhatt made several memorable films in 80s and 90s while some were bad films especially in late 90s. Finally Mahesh Bhatt decided to quit from directing and chose to write films. The film stars Ajay Devgn who then was struggling to prove himself in different roles and shed his action hero image. The film had almost same cast of Angaarey except Akshay. Nagarjuna, Pooja and Sonali were repeated. The film is based on Mahesh Bhatt's mother, as most of his films are based on his own life but this is superbly handled by Mahesh Bhatt. The film showcases the life of Ajay, from childhood, his relationship with his mother is brilliantly handled, even though some scenes are too melodramatic yet there are superb in context with the story The film has no time to waste on meaningless songs and comedy Even romantic moments are treated maturely. There are several brilliant scenes like Ajay's outburst with Akshay Anand, The climax and many more But there are some issues like the reason his mother kept the truth away from the son? When she could visit the church with him? Also some scenes seem incomplete like the present day story of the mother but such issues are petty.
Direction by Mahesh Bhatt is brilliant,this was his last film though Kartoos released later in 1999 Music is decent, Gali mein Aaj is the best song sung brilliantly by Alka
Ajay Devgan proved his acting talent and won a National Award for his portrayal, he was simply superb in his role.Mahesh had worked with him before in Naajayaz but here their team is simply superb Nagarjuna is decent, Pooja Bhatt for once proves she could act, sadly she stopped acting after this and took to direction and production Sonali is adequate Akshay Anand is superb, Ashutosh Rana is brilliant, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Saurabh Shukla, Mahesh Bhatt's fav Avtar Gill and rest are brilliant
