I loved it and I probably watched it like 5 times. My parents especially my dad loves it a lot more. It's a cult film that later became a hit on satellite TV.

Of course it isn't possible in real life just like Shankar's Anniyan, but people love such fantasies of getting rid of the corrupt and them being taught a lesson.

It had amazing songs too. A R Rahman, so it's obvious I suppose.

Probably because it wasn't promoted well or didn't have big stars, it didn't find many takers.

you know when they rinse the mud off of him with doodh , its so beautiful and symbolic.his name is shivaji and the doodh poured on reminded me of shiv and the shiv ling.

Good question! I love that movie! I have watched it atleast 10 times. They aired it multiple times on TV while I was growing up.

Another one that did average at the box office (as far as I know) was Anil Kapoor's Pukar. That was a great movie as well! Wonder why movies with such unique concepts didn't do well back then.

Though I am glad that now the audience's taste is evolving for the better. 😆

Yes Ive watched and rewatched this. It is very good and makes good points.

Anil had very little star power and the release period were the 2 lowest features

I agree with Cougartown. It seems Anil Kapoor was a flop actor. His only hits are with bigger female superstars like Sridevi, Madhuri..

Because Nayak is a good film and yet people couldnt stand his mug I'm guessing. And it was a south remake so most people had already seen the other one I suppose.



well that wasn't a time when south movies used to he dubbed in Hindi and shown in set max 😆...
The South original hardly had any impact on it.

Anil Kapoor has delivered flops with Madhuri and Sridevi too, they are not some goddesses, I don't know about star power, but Anil was a good actor, he was really good in movies like viraasat.

virasat was another awesome movie. loved tabu .

It was Mudhalvan right? Whats a film without Shankar. The showdown scene, the songs, Manisha. Im so glad it worked in the south.
One of the best.
