Did not get what was wrong in that song. I thought it was ok. (not good but not that bad)
Considering that Archana Puransing and Nasruddin Shah look so young. Which means it must be 25 year old song.
In those days thats how song used to be made!

From the movie Jalwa, Indian version of Beverly Hills Cop... Actually, a pretty decent low budget movie

It was a big hit

Man. Bollywood makes so much trash.

Yup. The movie would not disappoint as a TV watch. Just that one should not expect anything special.

I guess if the songs can be bypassed, it should be a good movie. I mean the cast is pretty solid!

If you have watched a lot of Hollywood 70s-80s movies, you will find a few scenes lifted from there... and like said most of it is from Beverly Hills Cop. But definitely watchable when you have nothing else to do.
Having said that, I am surprised that you havent watched it yet. Used to be a regular on Zee Cinema or Sony Max (I think) 7-8 years ago..
