A sad intelligent and hard working little boy who bears witness to his oppressed mother becoming incarcerated in a case of accidental murder involving his drunken, beastly father, runs away from the scene of the crime only to fall prey to the villainy of a neta type who uses his orphanage to collect young abandoned and homeless children to augment his wealth through begging and assorted crimes. How the Kid finds succour in the protective arms of the law, epitomized by widower police officer hero (Shameem khan), forms the rest of the insipid story.
The narrative begins with a dead-pan, unnaturally stunted background narration by veteran Raza Murad and as the narrative progresses, his voiceover super cedes the visuals with some truly sanctimonious and unpalatable sermonizing. Not that the visual dramatics are any better.
Hyperventilating in antiquated (60’s Bollywood tear-jerker) fashion, the plotting gets disarrayed mid-way before it is forcibly tied up together (loose knots) in order to build up towards a climax. There’s a singular lack of cohesion in the narration and too many unresolved plot points for there to be any sensibility or attachment.
With two helmers credited with Direction that was to be expected I guess. The lack of coherence and consistency is severely galling. And the constant wailing in the form of song is just not appreciable. This one is definitely unworthy of kindness.
