Dharmendra as Yakut going on a killing spree to save Hema Malini from clutches of Altunia played by Vijendra Ghatge. The result? the film bombed at the box office and rightfully so, I watched this film online and kept skipping for the sheer audacity it displayed onscreen. But you can't play with history to satisfy your disbeliefs. Mr Amrohi instead went onto make a film based on the affair of Razia and Yakut mainly because to cash on the popularity of Hema Malini and Dharmendra's onscreen pairing at that time. Also their main objective was to give birth to seeds of jealousy in Altunia's mind who was Razia's childhood lover and companion. Razia Sultan's romance with Yakut was a myth, it was cooked up the royalties of Razia's kingdom who were jealous of her reign and wanted her to bring her down. I can't believe how some people giving it rave reviews when it has clearly distorted history. This is an example of a stupid unimaginable piece of work by a great director having an amazing score.
