Joshilaay

Dara and Karan, sons of two victims slain by the dacoit Jogi Thakur, bide their years in patient anticipation of vengeance. When Thakur's associate Raja Singh betrays him, absconds with the loot, Jogi is captured and sentenced to life. Years later, Jogi escapes prison to reclaim Raja and recover his booty, only to find his own face staring down from posters across the village, offering a reward of fifty thousand rupees dead or alive. Learning of Jogi's escape, Karan sets out to find him, and Dara bands with Karan to settle the score with the feared dacoit.

The movie has a good story line and Sunny Deol performs well with Anil Kapoor. It is a bit stretched but the dust, horses, guns, and villages are worth watching. The plot is quite good and the movie has a Jaanbaaz sort of a feel. The dacoits are back with a bang and the old blues of horses and guns make me feel good. Overall, you wont say that you wasted time or it wasn't worth it. It can be a good weekend watch if you are interested in 1980's Indian cinema. You cannot compare it with any Hollywood movie but Shekhar Kapur does a good job in bringing the reality of Indian villages to life, and what does it feel like to stay there with dacoits all over the place.
