Well, another heroine-oriented movie in which the leading lady loses her beloved because of some cruel villain. The film is quite poorly made and is filled with many overdone action scenes which were quite typical at the time as well as numerous horribly-made comic sequences. The film also has an extended appearance by Shahrukh Khan to enhance its market value, but he is not given much to do with his role. Army is a Sridevi vehicle and she is excellent. First, she looks beautiful and does well in all the phases of her character, whether it's the happy wife, the traumatised widow, or the decisive avenger. The role is not as good as the role she had in Gumrah, but it's good enough and she anyway manages to rise above the film's silliness. Danny Denzongpa plays the exact caricature villain he played in many other films. The music is forgettable. I see no reason to recommend this unless you are a Sridevi fan.
