Starring: Sunil Dutt, Waheeda Rahman, Amitabh, Rakhee, Vinod Khanna Director: Sunil Dutt Music: Jaidev Producer: Sunil Dutt Genre: Romance Sound: Dolby Digital Print: Color Short Story : Sunil Dutt's best known film as a director, shot in the desert at Jaisalmer, retells the Rajasthani legend about the love of Reshma (Waheeda Rehman) and Shera (Sunil Dutt) amid violent feudal conflict between their clans. Amitabh Bachan plays the role of Chotu, Shera's sharp shooting kid brother who, ordered by their vengeful father, shoots Reshma's father and her recently married brother. Unable to bear the grief of the widowed bride Shera kills his own father believing he actually pulled the trigger. Trying to save Shera from grief and destructive madness, Reshma marries Chotu. In the end, Shera tries to redeem his practical act and commits suicide. Reshma also dies, rolling down on a sand dune towards Shera's dead body. A sandstorm comes to cover their bodies, united in death. The films sweeping desert shots dwarf the actors among the enormous dunes. Thematically, the film was unusual in its refusal to sanction the traditional, macho values of bloody revenge. Reshma refuses revenge and promoted by goddess Durga finds a way out of the dilemma while remaining true to her lover. The man however chooses to avenge the bride turned widow and rejects love in favor of keeping his word.
