Meri Jung(1985)-(Movies To See Before You Die-Drama)

High Emotions Drama"People don't like warring with words" crowed a film magazine from 1985. This assertion gave me the impression that the movie would be replete with verbal wars between the contesting advocates in the court. 
However when I rented the movie to verify the claim, it had a little legal war, and that too was a bit stereotypical. The movie, however, had its other rewards to offer. A simple, no-nonsense plot about the woes of the family of a wrongly executed man, this film for the most part matches the reaction to the action with minimal overacting. The culminating scene wherein Anil Kapoor, apart from rescuing his mother, gives vent to his pent up feelings of righteous anguish and indignation against the vile acts of Amreesh Puri due to which he had to lead all his life in bitterness -- physical and mental -- is the highlight of the movie in my opinion.
 In this emotional tirade, we the viewers, have emotions exactly like a person would have, who has been victimised thus.  Among the star-cast, Anil Kapoor and Meenakshi Sheshadri give the most impactful performances along with the child actor. The background music and melodious songs by Lakshmikanth-pyarelal are another highlight of this well made film by Subhash Gay. In fact the soundtrack by the maestros can be included in one of their most under-rated works, which surely deserved much more recognition and appreciation from the masses. 
 This sympathy of emotions is the biggest achievement of this film. The music of the film is more than just good, specially the theme song, "Zindagi har qadam ik nai jang hai.." which is yet another spellbinding creation of Laxmikant- payarelal duo.

So for everyone interested it is indeed a worth watching film showcasing a true to life drama with many good songs.
