Sanjay Dutt is a fabulous actor and not only his hits movies but his average and flops movies saw him in different types of roles. His performance from low budget to mainstream films have always been top notch. His cop films particularly were brilliant and this is one of his cop movies from the late 80s. This was also one of the few films where Dutt acts as the son of legendary actor Dilip Kumar. However, Bachchan's Shakti had a better demonstration of father vs son. Here the same thing is shown yet the clash between father and son seems forced. The main focus is on the villains and their activities and how Sanju swears to stop all their activities after one of his good friends die from the enemies. But, Dilip Kumar(his father in the movie) stops him in the nick of time and this leads into the father and son conflict. Sanju leaves his home and promises to come back after achieveing something and at the end he does come back. The movie is narrated well and even though it has the regular forced comedy and romance, the movie keeps you engaged. The action scenes are a delight, however there are a few cheesy stunts. Sanjay Dutt has done a brilliant job thought Dilip Kumar has done a better job and similar to Vidhaata, Sanju stays in the shadow of Dilip. However in my opinion, I like Sanju's angry young man type role and personally, I think he has done a brilliant job. Nutan is good, Madhuri Dixit is average and her only good film from the time was Tezaab. Direction by Sachine Bhomwick is good, can't believe the same guy wrote the script of the crap Akshay Kumar movie from 1994. On the whole, Kanoon Apna Apna is one of those cop films which had typical elements yet a damn good story with some excellent performances.
