It isn’t difficult to tell that intellectually this film will appeal bestu00a0only to five-year-olds and true B-Grade film buffs. After all, this filmu00a0has a song called 'Bum Pe Laath', which has wedding guests kicking theu00a0heroine and her goons in the ass to the tune of the Birdie song.

There is a reason that the ’80s were considered to be the worst decade inu00a0the history of Hindi films. The Kader Khan 'jism ki imaarat mein faulad keu00a0iraade' type of metaphors, the matkas and the jangling temple bells, theu00a0exploitative zamindar, the widowed and victimised mother, andu00a0about-to-be-raped or married-cum-tortured sister and the divine Devi Mau00a0intervention at the climax – we know these cliches by heart. The all new,u00a0advanced Himmatwala rounds up all these props together, almostu00a0systematically ticking them off one by one as its story progresses, into anu00a0implausible story.
