Was watching the movie GHAYAL yesterday on Zee Cinema. I dont know how many times I have seen this movie but everytime I watch it, it is with the same interest. Almost every thing about this movie is awesome the story, direction, performances, direction etc. Agreed the music is not great but this is not a musical or a love story.
Performances of all the actors in this movie are memorable. Right from Hero (Sunny Deol) to a small part played by Anu Kapoor (of Antakshiri). I think the story and direction of Raj Kumar Santoshi was amazing. The way he carried and directed the movie was superb.
I would say that Sunny Deol’s performance in Ghayal is the best among all his movies though he was equally good in movies like Damini and Arjun. Amrish puri and Om puri gave the best of the performances.
The movie picturises every thing Emotions, Sentiments, Corruption, Politics, Drugs etc.
I don’t like watching movies with sentiments and high emotions but this movie is definatley an exception.
No wonder Ghayal dominated 1990’s filmfare awards by taking away Best Actor, Best Film, Best Story, Best Director, Best Art Director, Best Cinematographer awards.

Hey there…
Came here after reading your comment on Suyog’s blog.
I agree with you. I loved a lot of early Sunny movies like Ghayal, Ghaatak, Damini, Jeet etc.
Did you know that three of his greatest hits started with the letter G?
Ghayal, Ghatak and Gaddar. Its also another coincidence that each of these movies released on the same day as another Aamir Khan movie which also went on to become a very big hit. The latest was Gaddar releasing on the same day as Lagaan.
Do visit my blog sometime and leave comments if you like/dislike the posts.
