Zindagi Ek Juaa

Zindagi Ek Juaa review :

Originally planned with Amitabh Bachchan in mind, the film went to Anil Kapoor after the Prakash Mehra -Bachchan rift post Jaadugar (1989). The tragic story was more suited to Amitabh's style and swag and though Anil did a reasonably good job, the film couldn't reach up to the level of Mehra's earlier tragic drama Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (1978). Had it been made in that era with Big B in Anil's role, Zindagi Ek Juaa would've worked well.

Bappi Lahiri's gave yet another chartbuster music to Mehra after their previous successful collaborations. The title track and Kabhi Kuch Khoyaa.. are my personal favourite.

One of the rare movies in that time which shows heroine (Madhuri Dixit) getting addicted to drugs and later, dying of overdose. The film largely suffered due to its excessive run time and that climax which seemed to go on and on...
