Asoo BillaNot a dry eye in the house then as director Hasnain clearly manages to strike a chord with the masses with his melodramatic climax scene. There is another terrific memorable moment when in police custody, a wild eyed Almas Bai (Sana) violently strangles a slimy snitch before (the polices's) startled eyes using her shackles as an instrument of death - these Jatti’s are certainly made of stern stuff! The heavy handed drama plus the fact that the film is moves along at a rapid pace despite the utterly predictable nature of the plot helped the film to attain widespread popularity.
The other important ingredient in the films success are the highly seductive, typically vulgar gyrations of the two leading ladies Sana and Nargis both of who contort, twist, thrust and twitch their body parts tantalizingly, much to the delight of the hungry masses. Both girls are more than adept at milking the vulgar dance for all its worth and Nargis especially employs wonderfully sleazy facial expressions which send the vulgarity factor of her dances into stratosphere. No wonder she was packing them in during her infamous live theater act that was so sadly cut short by the wretched moral majority types that our society is blighted with. The film is totally formulaic and offers nothing new or fresh and is exactly what one expects from a typical Punjabi masala potboiler – perhaps this in itself is exactly the reason why the film clicked big time – its predictability.
