Review of Mawaali

Mawaali (1983)
7/10
Good fun comedy-drama-action
29 November 2021
Ramesh works for an industrialist and falls in love with his daughter. However, things take a turn when the industrialist is murdered and Ramesh is arrested for the crime.

Jeetendra excels himself in a double role, one an engineer framed by Kader Khan and his son for killing his fiancee's dad, and the other is a small time crook; the fun is seeing them trade places in order to get the real killers behind bars, but in masala fashion this isn't so easy, and what follows is fights, misunderstandings and villainous schemes.

But what makes this Telugu remake stand out is the comedy, mainly coming from Kader Khan and shakti Kapoor, the latter is hilarious as the dungaree wearing numbskull.

It's totally fun film with good performances from Reena Roy, Sridevi and Aruna irani- however the songs aren't great, and the plot can overstretch a little.
