The big sceneA montage of the colonel training Arun, and telling him that the world is divided between winners and losers.

Ranaut impresses with a sassy but vulnerable performance. The film is best remembered today for the tunes sung by Geeta Dutt (the director’s wife) and for being truly funny. This drama about a deaf-mute woman, Michelle (Mukerji), and her struggle through education was loosely inspired by the true story of Helen Keller. But this story of two conmen (Bachhan and Kapoor) mending their ways and collaborating with a sharpshooter (Shatrughan Sinha) to avenge the death of their cop brother at the hands of the dreaded Shakaal (Kharbanda, in a stunning debut) has aged very well.
