This 1980 star-studded box office disaster is a real old favorite of
mine. A very slick, very action-oriented movie with a non-standard
theme that promised to change Bollywood movie-making standards of the
early 80s (Ramesh Sippy's "Shaan" was another one in the same genre).
Never mind why people spurned this movie when it was released - it was
probably released in the wrong decade! In many ways, this was a
landmark movie. It was one of the few movies made on the Railways.
Quite surprising that Bollywood took so long to pay a fitting tribute
to the Railways because (at least during those days) a humongous
percentage of working Indian populace were directly or indirectly
dependent on the railways for their livelihood. Why, the Indian
Railways were one of the largest employers in those days! And the best
part is the tribute doesn't go over the board. The Railways depiction
is more or less realistic (note to critics: the song-and-dance parts
before the Super Express is launched is just plain old Bollywood masala
– nothing to do with the Railways).
