ended the era of another superstar and started a new wave in
Hindi Cinema. At a time, when India was suffering from
corruption, low economic growth etc., and the common man
was left with frustration and anger over the system, Hindi
Cinema turned violent and aggressive. Reflecting the anger of
the masses, this star became the new hero, who had the
courage to fight against the wrong and maintaining moral
values at the same time. The film was a huge success and one
of the highest grossing films of that year, breaking this actor’s
dry spell at the box office and making him a star. Thus, this
remains an important film in the history of Indian Cinema and is
regarded as a classic today.
