The Deewar team of Chopra, writing duo Salim-Javed and stars Bachchan and Kapoor reunited for this action packed drama about three downtrodden mine workers becoming unlikely heroes. Inspired by a real-life disaster, the film was a rare flop for Chopra when first released but its winning mix of punching, singing and flooding earned it classic status over time. Chopra brought in Glen Robinson (Logan’s Run, Earthquake, Meteor) to create the climactic flood.
