    Good package overall

    This is a good watch overall - a typical bollywood masala movie. Decent acting by the cast .... starting with Jeetu n Sridevi...great comedy by Kadar Khan and Amjad Khan ( inspite of being cast in negative roles)

    Good songs n dances n a fairly engaging plot. Great music by Bappida, n entertaining songs n dances

    This was Jeetus biggest success in a long career with many hits ( n many flops too). This was also Sri's launchpad to stardom....

    The 2013 remake (which was more of a failed spoof) made a mess of this 1983 film which is overall a good package. Watch it to relive the 1980s n get entertained.

    AAA an amazing film to watch

    A great film made in Madras, I thought they make Tamil films only but no that not true. Its a worth watching film and Ragu is a great director. I heard the song of the movie but not seen the movie but when I saw the first time its so brilliant, with great performance and music, dance numbers. It is just great to watch Sridevi dance along with Jeetu. The rest cast is amazing in their roles and cinematography captures beautiful locations amazingly and I loved this film since I watched on DVD. Its 8 out of 10. And one of Jeetu's best work ever. Bappi Lahiri have given a great music for the film. The singers have done great job also.

    The comedy of Amjad Khan and Kader Khan shines in this otherwise predictable film.

    Himmatwala is an action comedy film directed by K. Raghavendra Rao and stars an ensemble cast of Jeetendra, Late Sridevi, Late Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Waheeda Rahman, Asrani, Arun Govil, Shoma Anand, Swaroop Sampat, Late Satyendra Kapoor and Late Amjad Khan.

    An engineer returns to his village after a long gap and promises to restore his father's lost reputation. Meanwhile, the egoistic and spoilt daughter of his enemy, falls in love with him changes into a good soul and helps him trick her father.

    The film which is more famous for the iconic Jeetandra's step in the songs such as "Nainon Mein" and "Taki O Taki" has a decent mixture of comedy and action and have to admit that both Amjad Khan and Kader Khan were hilariously funny considering the fact that they were portraying negative roles.

    The plot of the film is simple revenge drama but has a good mixture of comedy which will keep you engaged throughout, most of the songs of the film are good but the subplots of the film disturbs the pace.

    Acting in the film is good and the film will always be remembered for the superb comedy by the great Kader and Amjad Khan. Jeetendra and Sridevi were also good and impressive and is beautifully supported by the rest of the cast.

    Songs as mentioned in the film is good and screenplay could've been made little trimmed and the film could've been little shorter. The climax of the film is predictable.

    Can be watched once for some of the great comedy and some catchy dance numbers.

    Blockbuster of 1983

    This movie Himmatwala was a blockbuster of 1983, from this movie Kader khan commercial value increased and even his popularity as comedian, Sri Devi too re-launched after failure pairing with Amol Palikar in Solva Sawan it is 100% entertaining movie for Jeetenra Sri Devi fans performance wise Jeetendra is on top he always gives his best performances, his emotional scene with Waheeda Rehman superb and he excel in dance numbers,his dressing sense from his early films till his retirement over all on top , This movie was a trend setter for different type of comedy and later on lot of movies follows the footstep of this movie. over all it is considered a 100% entertaining movie of Jeetendra Sri Devi hit pair.

    Worth watching

    Great Pair of Sridevi and Jeetu. Has everything that a masala movie should have and also its remake of a Tamil film. It's movie about an Ramu who is raised throw hardships by his mother and he returns to village as a engineer. Jeetendra is playing the character of engineer babu, Ravi, and Waheeda is playing the role of his mother. Sridevi playing the Rekha daughter a Sher Singh played by Amjad Khan. This movies great to watch and contains lots of comedy and wonderful music. The Naino Main Sapna , Sapno main sajna, sajna pe dil aagya, is from this film. The music is foot taping and dances are great. One more thing this is the movie of Sridevi's early years in Hindi movies and the voice dobbed on her is not her voice but dances are just super. Her character is small character but as a leading lady opposite Jeetu whom she worked with in many great films, but also as a kid she played his sister in 73. Jeetu at his best dances but his acting good sometime you hear him that he lecturing somebody or in college. Maybe his acting in dialog delivery had same always but i think its seems little weird. Amjad Khan is at his best and Kader Khan is giving the best performance I ever seen. Shoma looks great in village gal. Arun Govl is mute and he is giving great performance. Asarni gives average performance but great direction of the director. Lovely locations, and its worth watching. The locations are similar in other Padmalya films also but lovely locations and great art direction set coordination. It's great film that a family can enjoy. Beautiful costumes, and great cinematography. To find what the movie is about everyone should see it.
