- Quotes
Katya's Brother-In-Law: [after Danny orders Mukesh Rishi to back down] Good thing Jijaji you stopped him
[referring to Mukesh Rishi]
Katya's Brother-In-Law: at the right moment. Else rather than 7, only 6 brothers would be left
[Gets slapped on the head by Deep Dhillon]
Katya: Kashinath, I am more than pleased seeing your valor and courage. You too would be very delighted knowing that from today on, you would work in my syndicate.
Kashi Nath: These are hands of a common man Katya. They can melt metal and mould it into a desired shape. This strength is a result of the bread earned by sweat and blood. I needn't live on the goodwill of anybody.
Katya: Rather than living like ants and parasites, its better to stay here between men, like a lion.
Kashi Nath: When caged, even lions become dogs Katya. You want me to stay here as your pet dog ? Bark when you ask me to ? Bite when you order me to ?
Katya: You can say so, what's the big deal. If you work with us, you'll achieve fame, wealth, rewards and people shall FEAR you.
Kashi Nath: Only those who have water instead of blood in their veins survive by intimidating people.
Katya: [In an angry tone warning Sunny Deol] Kashinath !
Kashi Nath: If are so interested in proving yourself a MAN, stop taking assistance from dogs Katya.
Katya: [after his enraged brothers appear to attack Sunny Deol] Hold it.
Katya: [after Sunny Deol leaves having rescued his nephew] His death needs to be figured out soon.

Performed by Danny Denzongpa
Beginning with Om Puri's character getting killed by the henchmen of Katia(Danny Denzongpa) in Bombay, we go to Banaras, where Kashi(Sunny Deol) is a wrestler and dutiful son. His father(Amrish Puri) has a throat problem so they go to Bombay to treat it. Once in Bombay, the two face a culture shock. Kashi is amazed at the people's apathic attitude.
Due to circumstances, Kashi ignites the enmity of Katia and his six brothers.
The action in the movie is fast paced and relentless. You can feel the escalating tension on screen. Performances are superb, the direction is tight (although it took 5 years to complete this movie).
Sunny Deol has given one of the more powerful performances of his life in this movie. Amrish Puri has given a great performance, comedic for the first half-hour of the film. Danny is menacing, however his get-up could have been better(his hair is silly). Meenakshi gave a decent performance. The songs are good and are mercifully few in number.
All in all, it is a great action movie.
Enjoy!
