Sippy makes a commercial success of a run-of-the-mill western remade in the Indian context. The movie was adapted also to fit the expectations of the Indian filmgoers. Amjad Khan in the debut role steals the show. This movie also inspired a number of movies such as Shaan. The strength of this movie doesn't lie in its great directorial prowess (Sippy does a passable job) or even the acting, but in the way it captured the imagination of the whole movie-going Indian public. Unfortunately Sippy also tries to add all the standard cliches (like the poor blind Muslim cleric, the nice and naive village girl) and created others for other film-makers to imitate. Definitely a good movie to watch.
