8/10
One of Bhatt's superb films

Warning: Spoilers
In 80s Mahesh Bhatt gave several great films like Arth, Saraansh NAAM is one of his best films, it was the first film Sanjay Dutt signed after his drug abuse and going to rehab. The film was made perhaps to relaunch Kumar Gaurav who was producer of the film but the film became a comeback of Sanjay Dutt. The film has a good plot which is quite believable, with youngsters wanting to go abroad. The film starts off well, Sanju's scene where he threatens a huge gang without fighting which is similar to DEEWAAR minus the fight is superbly shot, even the scene when Sanju leaves for dubai and the twists are well handled till the end it keeps you engrossed. The emotional angle between Sanju and his mother Nutan is well handled and also the brotherly love, The scene when Sanju drags Paresh from his apartment is similar to DEEWAAR too but yet well handled

Direction by Mahesh Bhatt is superb Music is superb Chiti Aai Hai by Pankaj Uddaas is a superb number, while Tu Kal is superb too, Amiron Ki Shaam is amazing too rest are good

Sanjay Dutt looking slim those days minus his long hair and body does a great job, he lends the right amount of vulnerability to the role Amrita Singh is good, Kumar Gaurav is good too Paresh Rawal was a regular in Bhatt camp and does a great job as always Nutan is good rest are okay
