Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
Tetrady not as good as all the hype
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
varghesejunior Tridev , as my title suggests, is a typical masala flick of the 80s - top heroes with lady loves, great songs and dances, action, dialogues...it's a 3 hour entertainer. But perhaps nowadays nobody will have the patience to go through it all.Story is about 3 frustrated young men fed up of the inefficient law system in the country and set out to bring justice on their own.The good - Dialogues, catchy songs,action sequences, plot of the movie The bad - Weak background score (quite silly at times), jobless ladies.It you are a fan of Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff or Naseeruddin Shah, then watch this.
prashant_dhama200 Master piece of late 80's. I watched this movie on TV but I must say that this is true thriller, suspense and spell bounding movie. Acting is average by Sunny Deol(Karan) but Naseeruddin Shah(Jay Singh) and Jackie Shroff(Ravi Mathur) rocked this movie. Other actors including Amrish Puri (Bhujang) is true villain. He knew about the moods and balance of acting. Bassy voice and deep personality suits for this character and he plays it off nicely. Anupam Kher(Mumbai Police Commissioner) did a great job and he was looking a real life police commissioner. Renu(Sonam) was looking hot. Now this movie tells that if you want to show hot actresses then there is no need to remove clothes unnecessarily. A movie can be good if it has content and the spice for audience. I liked the work of Ravi Rai(Director). He had control over film and no overacting. That is what we call a disciplined movie which has "only" everything to please viewers. Hats off to this Masterpiece. I think Bollywood should take lessons from earlier movies rather than redoing the Hollywood flicks which only worsen the charm and viewers abuse them when they leave theaters in running movies...
silvan-desouza Rajiv Rai after YUDH in 1985 returned with TRIDEV(1989) which was a typical 80s action film The film moves at a decent pace with stunts, music and comedy The story is done to death but handled wellThe film starts off well and keeps your interest alive, there are several overdone scenes perhaps which 80s boasted of and several masala ingredients The film started the speciality of all RR films, long list of henchmen and goons Direction by Rajiv Rai was good, Music was a superhit by Kalyanji Ananji, with OYE OYE topping the charts sung well by Amit Kumar Other songs were good too especially GALI GALI Action scenes were as usual Sunny Deol was going through a roughphase those days before GHAYAL though this film and CHAALBAAZ did well in 89 yet he was labelled a non actor and didn't shout how he did today In his role he is average but in one scene when he is tied to a bed he is expressionless Naseeruddin Shah excels and the role brought him fame showing his versatility Jackie Shroff in a smaller role did well Amrish Puri excels as Bhujang, though a done to death role for him Anupam Kher though looking young to play Jackie's dad still did a good job The heroines which include Madhuri, Sangeeta Bhijlani didn't get much scope Amongst rest Sharat Saxena is as usual, Shekhar Suman is okay
Ibuk I have extremely fond memories of this classic. Out of Naseer Udin Shah, Sunny Deol and Jackie Shroff it was Sunny Deol that stood out as the angry cop Karan Saxena. Amrish Puri was superb as Bhujang in one of my favourite roles of his. There was also so many other characters, including Anupum Kher as the devoted Pollice commissioner. The music is so good it deserves a special mention. My personal Favourite is Oye Oye. The director Rajiv Rai went on to make other great movie including the superb follow up Vishwatamma, Mohra and the suspense thriller Gupt. Unfortunately he has hit a rough patch with this recent releases Pyar Ishq and Mohabbat and Asambhav flopping. Rajiv Rai has a reputation for repeating his cast, Sunny Deol came in Tridev and its follow up whilst Naseer Uddin Shah starred in Tridev, Vishwatamma and Mohra.Character actors like Tej Sapru have appeared in almost all of his movies. Tremendous fun.
