Witness Sunny Deol juggle between justice and corruption in Salaakhen on Sony MAX2

Whenever we talk about action heroes in the 90’s, one name that constantly crops up is that of Sunny Deol. His inimitable dialogue delivery coupled with a dynamic presence make him one of the most revered actors of Hindi cinema. This month, Sony MAX2 brings to you one of Sunny Deol’s finest performances in the action entertainer Salaakhen. In a fine blend of drama and some power packed action, the film promises an engrossing watch for all movie lovers. 

Salaakhen dwells on the life of Vishal Agnihotri, (Sunny Deol) whose father meets a horrifying fate after testifying against a corrupt politician’s son. Out of despair and agony, Vishal takes the law in his hands to serve justice and avenge his father’s death. Will he get a fair trial or become a prey to the flawed system? Peppered with some iconic courtroom scenes and few foot tapping numbers, Salaakhen boasts off noteworthy performances by veterans like Amrish Puri, Farida Jalal, Anupam Kher, Mohan Joshi and more. 

24 years later, Salaakhen still manages to create the same impact riding on Sunny Deol’s captivating monologues and deadly action-scenes. The film is a highlight in Deol’s journey as an actor and one of the key milestones in him becoming a connoisseur in the action-drama genre.
