I rate this movie higher than Sholay not only because it was a precursor to that movie, and that dashing Vinod Khanna's Jabbar was in my view bettere but also because it had a great message of collective action to fight the evil unlike Sholay where only heros act as saviours. Dharmendra and Vinod Khanna were the original 'He men' of the Hindi film industry and two most dashing and handsome actors, real men, unlike puny, beefed up heros of today.
